DrupalSouth Theme

UPDATE: Buddhika Amila Sampath created the Light Fantastic theme, not Joshua Brauer. Joshua is the maintainer.

Screenshot of lightfantastic theme The theme used on DrupalSouth.net.nz is called Light Fantastic, which was created as part of the Google Summer of Code 2007 by Buddhika Amila Sampath and is maintained by Joshua Brauer.

We found it via Themebot, which is a great Theme gallery for Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla and other themes.

Light Fantastic has only been released for Drupal 6, so I (Bevan) backported it for Drupal 5 with four simple changes;

We fixed a few other things which appear to be not-criticial bugs in the drupal 6 version (unverified.) We submitted a backport and bugfixing patch to the Light Fantastic issue queue on Drupal.org.

Clarification

As a clarification The theme was developed by Buddhika Amila Sampath as a part of the Summer of Code. I became the maintainer of the theme later in its life.

Oh and would you like to maintain the 5.x branch? If so let me know and I'd be happy to give you access and have more eyes looking at it.

Modification of Light Fantastic Theme

Bevan, how did you modify the theme to display the sunset image right below the search box? I looked at the theme, but the only image I could determine how to modify is the intro image, which you have are not using at all.

With some custom CSS

We added the photo in with a little bit of custom CSS. Look for 

/**
 * DrupalSouth specific styles
 */

div#logowrap {
   background: #A1A16A url(drupalsouth/header-background.jpg) no-repeat 100% 33%;
}

near the end of lightfantastic/style.css.
