Hi again, Hmm, OK, thinking some more (you might be thinking what took me so long ;-) ), maybe it should be a tiki.tpl as close to Tikineat's as possible, for the easiest update compatibility. My inclination to use a newer tpl was that they are "improved" but I guess that could be a problem here. So I took trunk's Tikineat tiki.tpl and added just the Site Identity divs from the default tiki.tpl. I didn't test much yet but it should work fine. It's "legacy.css" at zukakakina/ui/ (no options yet) and I put the tiki.tpl here if you want to use it: http://zukakakina.com/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=50. Later these files (or similar) should be in mods probably, but maybe Tiki version compatibility for mods needs to be sorted out first. -- Gary J Bradley wrote: > Hi Gary > > Feb12 ay... hmmm, think i'll try and work on some other colour-ways > for that one then! > I was thinking of doing an option for darkroom called lightroom (or > something). > > I thought the "legacy" theme would be based on the pre-*lite (table- > based) type of templates to give people an easy way to upgrade their > old themes to 3.0 with minimal changes?
