Skin request: Dusk

Hokey · Post by **Hokey** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 1:28 pm

Hi to all the creative and knowing people out there!

While surfing throughout the world wide web I stumbled across this wonderful theme: Dusk. Unfortunately it's a wordpress-skin... but I think it's a very great skin. Can anyone port it to S9Y (or tell me how to port skins to S9Y)?

Greetz from a hopeful Hokey!

***edit***
(as I see, there are many georgeous skins on this site...

Hokey,

This looks like a very simple theme to work on, there isn't really all that much to it apart from the three (or four) images.

What does your existing site look like, which theme are you using, do you have any experience of customising s9y themes? I would be happy to help you, and if required could work on this theme for you, but I need to know more about your skills, and your site. (sorry to be harsh, I just like to know who I'm dealing with because you would naturally have my personal email address etc if I got involved.)

Hi Carl!

Thanks for your answer!

I have definitly no skills in customizing S9Y-Themes. I tried twenty minutes ago to copy the images and the CSS into the "wp"-folder of the S9Y-themes folder but the result was just crap.

You can see the result here. The original was here.

Actually I'm using the Joushua-Theme in my blog.

When I say I have no customizing-experience, it means not that I want to be lazy. Maybe you could tell me the way I have to go to port this theme to S9Y.

Hi hokey,

Thank you for that, um, but it looks like you might be trying to customise the ocadia theme and not the dusk theme, is this correct?

Carl

Yes and no.

As I searched for the dusk theme, I hit the ocadia theme (look at the last link in the first post).

I think both themes are quite cool.

yeah ocadia looks very cool
please port it to the s9y

and also add it to the supersized.org

hmmm, so you want both themes?

Hokey · Post by **Hokey** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 11:57 am

That would be great if it's not too much work.

Maybe you could describe how to do this, so I would myself give a try to the thirteen theme an the beccary site.

ok, I'll start that project in a few days, and will do something every day and make my notes available on my website. When I start I'll let this thread know so that you can post questions and comments. Now I need to go and download the zipfile.

Good idea!
I have to take my examination next months, but I will try to follow and repeat your steps.

Much thanks,
Hokey

Dusk theme has been ported and the tutorials are now complete Download from here

Hokey I hope that has helped, if anything is unclear please let me know or post a comment on my blog. I look forward to seeing your interpretation of thirteen - let me know if you need any help.

Cheers

Carl

Thank you Carl! I think I will give a try to port some WP-Themes next months and will try to give something back to this great community!

Jude, Hokey,

Thanks guys, it means a lot to me that you appreciate the effort. I'm hoping to put some finishing touches into it soon and will release it to Spartacus.
