Boxed In: 4 themes

[laitaine]

An embarrassingly long time ago, I submitted a layout and a bunch of themes and decided I wanted to use it as a learning experience for patching styles. A few small things got in the way (like finishing my thesis, packing up my life and moving to another country) but, finally, finally - thanks to much patience and hand-holding from ninetydegrees - I'm about done with patching! Of course, I probably could have done it a whole lot quicker if I hadn't kept tweaking the layout under the guise of "testing". Or tweaking themes. Or making new ones. I guess this is an unfortunate side effect of patching my own stuff.

Anyway, before I put the patches up on zilla, I thought I'd post the new themes here:

Layout: Boxed In

Mint Choc Chip · info · source · preview

Oceana · info · source · preview

Spring Fling · info · source · preview


I also tweaked all the Boxed In themes I submitted previously, and renamed two of them:
Rose -> Antique Rose
Silver -> Silver Spectrum


Image info:
- The background images were purpose made by me and are released under the terms of my CLA.
- The arrow and tag icons are recoloured versions from the FamFamFam Silk set, the originals are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. I don't know the ins and outs of licensing, especially as I've not made these graphics myself, only altered someone else's work - but I'm sure original license + CLA makes everyone happy. Also, as the site already uses some silk icons, do I need to add this link to the layout's resources, or is it taken care of elsewhere?

So the theme can optionally override the default images. But the images only show up at all *if* the use_images tag is set.

I think this is very smart actually, especially since I've noticed some images actually replace text (metadata headers right?) so it could be problematic for some people. It would be great to make everything display as usual for people who have images off. I think this could be easily done using function prop_init.
