I’ve ported Softened Cells to TXP which is a simply phenomenal style from Pat Heard at FullAhead. This isn’t one of my full-blown systems and is only suitable for TXP 4.0 and up because I’m still not doing plug-ins. There are About and Contact pages built-in but no form mailer is used. If you want archives I’ll leave that up to the user. I have also included an “error_404” template for those that can use it. This facility will become available in 4.0.2 but if you keep up-to-date with SVN you can use it now.
This style includes several surprises. You will need to go to the demo over at TextGarden to see them. Describing them here would be difficult but on the demo keep an eye out for links within the article. The top_nav and sidebar links are a bit special too. The download comes with 2 included banner graphics and I have used both for the screenshots. If you use them please give the appropriate credit to ThreeTree who took them and retain the credit for Pat in the CSS as minimum. I mean that! I’m seeing a lot of sites where the credits have been removed. If you had the skill to produce designs like these you wouldn’t be here would you? I think this style is so good that I am using it elsewhere myself, but you will have to wait to find out about that. And I give credit where credit is due.
This style should be fairly easy to install for newcomers without the added burden of installing plug-ins. It would also be suitable for a small corporate site in it’s original form. I’ve ported it as a blog style but if you would like to use it for something else go to Pat’s site to download the original so that you can port it from scratch.
There is a Limited Demo available.
