k.portal layout

Today I finished my first k.portal layout. Primary it is a cool news feed aggregator, but thanks of its pluggable structure you can pimp it so much that it shows you the world :-)

The standard layouts do not support all this shiny things like drop shadow, round corners etc.. So I started writing my own theme and here it is, a image based, bandwidth wasting layout for the portal. This layout uses extensive background images for its look. The following modules are currently supported by this layout

  • feed
  • todo
  • time
  • weather
  • watch
  • watchdog

It was really a fiddling, to fit all k.portal modules in the new layout, because they use different markup for rendering. One module uses a mix of plain text/tables and another has a mix of divs and a table.

Please don't take this theme to serious. The topic round corners for k.portal and that this should be possible with current html structure was something that kore and I talked about some time ago. Ok, it has become a little bit more than round corners, but I like it and use it :-)

This theme is currently tested with firefox you can find it in the k.portal svn trunk. Comments and browser fixes are welcome.
