Drupalcon notes: Theming with Skinr

Themer Pain Points

• Lack of mockups = no big picture planning
• Lack of time = sloppy CSS
• Crazy selectors = less reusable code
• After completion = not much flexibility, low shelf life

You're doing it wrong if…

• You're not styling default Drupal elements
• You're excessively targeting IDs
• You're writing super specific CSS
• You're creating a new .tpl file for each little change
• You're not structuring markup in a way that is flexible

Skinr lets you

• Create your own reusable style definitions in the theme layer
• Lets you creat your own CSS classes and forget about drupal
• Makes your styles point-and-click

Where it shines:

• Contrib themes
• Projects where development is ongoing
• Themes for clients who are very hands-on
• Code snippet sharing and reuse

Define your skins in the .info file.
Print $skinr in your templates

Themes that support Skinr

• Base themes: fusion, adaptive theme, Zen, Studio, Basic
• General / Subthemes: Acquia Prosper, Acquia Marina, AT Koda, Light Fantastic, Celadon, Newswire, Abstract, AT Panels Everywhere
