As you know, I play about with the code a lot, so send me a clean version of the finished template and i'll design the graphics to that.
Cheers
Ian

I've made some changes to the andreas08 template and converted it to 3col, you can download the update here. This is only an update of the existing template, nothing special, but it is at least complete as far as width's etc go, so anyone who wants to contribute a colorset should download this zipfile and work on one of the existing colorsets, then email the zipfile back to me. I'm going to keep working on the template to add more functionality and optimise it more for SEO, but this shouldn't affect colorsets very much.

Thanks to Ianardo who has already agreed to contribute a colorset, and it would be great if some of the other designers would like to have a go.

I love what you've done with the template, do you want to contribute a colorset? I'll give you full credit in the footer. It is possible to change the footer text based on the colorset being used so the footer could say

"colorset by neut, original design by Andreas Viklund"

All you need to do is send me the stylesheet, the images, and any .tpl files you've changed.
Carl it's not really a colorset. It's your nuclear set with my messy code enhancements (but hey, it works well in IE, FF, Opera and Safari). Your credited onder 'Linkeballen, Blah!, Carl Galloway, and of course in the source code.
I started changing the nuclear set because I wanted something not everybody has and I'm too stupid to do it from scratch.
So, although I'm very flattered by your offer, I cannot accept it.

Oh well, sorry to hear that, however if you want to contribute some artwork and tell what colors your think would work with it I could still create a new colorset around this, and give some credit back to you as well.

Blimey! You must be the fastest forum-poster in the universe, an answer within 2 minutes!
I'll see if I can strip it down, so it's usable for others as well. Maybe later this week.

That would be awesome, thank you, and I know it will be a popular colorset.

Well Carl, more than a week has past and it seems I do not have enough time for this at the moment. So it will be for the next update. Sorry.

Sigh, thanks Neut, appreciate you letting me know. And thanks for being willing to begin with, and if you still want to produce templates in the future I'd be really happy to give any help I can.
