I made a couple of modifications that might be useful to others… this was for an internal site, so you can’t go see it, but I took a couple of screenshots.
First, I added a calendar (screenshot, with a different link color) to the sidebar, which was easy enough in sidebar.php:
<div id="calendar" class="side">
<h3>This Month</h3>
<?php get_calendar(2); ?>
</div>
but needed a little work in _css/base.css to help it along:
.side ul, .side td { /* just added .side td to this existing rule */
padding: 10px;
list-style: none;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 24px;
color: #690;
}
/* new stuff */
.side table { width: 96%; margin: .5em auto 0; border-collapse: collapse; }
.side caption { margin-top: .5em; color: #690; }
.side th { color: #666; font-size: 70%; }
.side td { padding: 1px; }
I also needed to customize the login screen. (screenshot) I added at the bottom of wp-admin/wp-admin.css:
/*--- copied from rdc theme's .side styles ----*/
#login {
background: #fff url(/wp-content/themes/rdc0.6.2_langshott/_gfx/_login_side.jpg) no-repeat right bottom;
color: #666;
border: none;
}
#login h1 {
background: #690 url(/wp-content/themes/rdc0.6.2_langshott/_gfx/_header.jpg);
border-top: 3px solid #360;
border-bottom: 1px solid #690;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
letter-spacing: -1px;
padding: 5px 0 4px 8px;
color: #fff;
}
… which uses this additional graphic. Save that in the _gfx directory in your rdc theme directory if you want to use it.
*Great* theme, roobottom. It looks good and it’s easy to work with. ??
