Drupal Themes - Crystalline - June 2011

Crystalline Drupal Theme

Crystalline Crystalline, the June 2011 Club Theme release, features the new Color Chooser, a powerful new addition that allows you to customize the theme style with great ease. With just a few adjustments, you can dramatically change the appearance of your entire site.

The transparent nature of the theme is what gives the Color Chooser its foundation, but the theme has many more features such as custom views and 960 grid system, but other extras too, such as dynamic block variations and the dFission Menu.

Color Chooser & 12 Preset Styles

The Color Chooser is, in effect, an interactive popup that allows you to edit the various style elements of Crystalline, such as background, text, link colour and overlay graphics, live. The transparent nature of the theme makes the Color Chooser so extraordinary.

Additionally, we have pre-configured 12 preset styles with the Color Chooser to show a small selection of how the feature can be used.

960 Grid System

We now feature the 960 Grid system for simple and consistent layout for our themes. Along with easy customization in the theme administrator.

The entire template is based on the grid system. Each block regions is divided into the appropriate grid based on the number of blocks in the region. You can modify the grid for each region in the Theme Admin > Grid Layouts section.
