Absynthe Theme
ok, just updated to the absynthe theme for this site, a theme originally for Wordpress (as it says in the footer), but ported to Drupal. I think it looks good.
There are however quite a few short comings - most of which probably cannot be seen by logged out users (but some can if you know where to look), so it is ok for a front facing theme for now.
I will try to fix up any problems and if I can this may stay my new long term theme. If not, I will revert to my modified version of A Block, or choose another theme altogether.
A change of scenery
Lo and behold, a new theme - A Block by couzinhub.
Functional, unassuming and good looking were the things I was looking for (and in that order) and this theme provides them all by the bucketload.
A little bit of History. Again.
When I first started this site, it had a basic theme - a slight modification to the default theme for pmWiki. It was unassuming and did its job.
Then I moved the site to Drupal. With drupal came a multitude of choices. Good choices, but at times a little overpowering.
