It's been a LONG time since my last post (roughly a year) so I thought it was time to finally post something new. I've been lucky enough to build quite a few Drupal themes lately and below are some bits of code that I use on a dailly basis when adding to or developing custom themes. The nice part is everything below should be easy enough to copy and paste! *Note: All code below is for Drupal 6.
Views horizontal scrollbar
You know that annoying horizontal scroll bar that appears on your browser everytime you hover over a View on your site? This short bit of CSS gets rid of that. Place the following code in your theme's CSS file and away goes the horizontal scroll. div.view div.views-admin-links { width: auto; }
Admin page columns
Ever built a theme only to have the "/admin" columns display one on top of each other? That's typically due to not enough width in the content area to properly float the two columns. Add this bit of CSS to your theme's CSS file and you will no longer have the problem of floating your admin page columns. div.admin .left, div.admin .right { margin-left: 1%; margin-right: 1%; }
Rounded tabs from Zen
I'm a big fan of the rounded "edit" and "view" tabs on the Zen theme and wanted to incorporate them into my own themes. There's a couple of files you'll need to edit but it's really quite simple copy and paste. Be sure to download the tabs images and place them in your themes folder in the "images/tabs" folder so the paths below match up.
