Title: Request: Wordpress Liquidblack Theme
Post by: Sista on October 08, 2006, 10:33:47 PM
I see many Wordpress themes have been converted to go with Coppermine and so I have a request I would like to add.I am currently using the Liquid Black theme by Thought Mechanics, which you can see in action here, http://brownsista.com (http://brownsista.com), and download from here http://www.thoughtmechanics.com/templates (http://www.thoughtmechanics.com/templates).It's an awesome theme that I think would be used by many.

Thanks... hope someone takes this challenge  :D

I don't think the theme on http://brownsista.com (http://brownsista.com) is the liquidblack theme on http://www.thoughtmechanics.com/templates (http://www.thoughtmechanics.com/templates) unless it was highly modified. They don't have the same menu or even look the same to me. Putting the photo strip that you see on brownsista won't be easy if you want them to be something like random photos or latest uploads and certainly something I won't tackle anytime soon unless you want to use static pictures. This means you'll have to chose which ones go on the strip and then edit the template.html everytime you want different pictures but it looks like the site owners wouldn't want someone ripping off their theme since they have a copyright notice at the bottom on the page.

The Liquid Black theme on Brown Sista is the same Liquid Black by Thought Mechanics.The demo view on the link I gave you does not work as the Thought Mechanics site changed their personal theme, which used to be the Liquid Black theme.As for their copyright, their themes have no copyright and are open source... I believe.

OK, that explains it. I downloaded the theme and tried it on my WP blog and it's the same as you say (minus the photo strip). I'll see what I can do but it may take me some time (like over a week) to even get to it as I have other themes to work on ahead of this one and I'm traveling for work this week. If someone else tackles this job, please post so here so that we aren't duplicating our work.

Cheers!

Thank you for giving it a try and time is not of the essence.I'll take it when I can get it  :D

Btw, why your Liquid Black theme doesn't have the photo strip is beyond me as it is the very heart of this theme and why people love it.Every version of this theme I have seen has it, including this one I picked up from a google search of the theme http://www.kevanmo.com/octarine/.
