Marshmallow theme maybe?

marshmallow
Hmm, I wonder? It might be a crazy idea but Im considering turning my current Marshmallow theme into a WP 1.3 theme in a similar way to Michael's Kubrick, of course Michaels is currently for WP 1.2, you need Ryans for 1.3. After seeing all the extra problems Its caused him im not sure though, especially as its not something I really considered doing before. Just dont expect the same response times and knowledge from me if you have any hypothetical problems with this hypothetical theme. I may well just try it as my own project anyway but I think Ill be altering the colours and stuff a tad - and of course with full Kubrick credits as thats essentially my code template. On a similar note, Fernando has a fewrather nicethemes forpeople to use in WP 1.2, its just a shame they arent for 1.3 really or Id have more styles to play with (I just noticed that with a few tweaks they do work under 1.3 as themes :-D ). Ive also just discovered a theme switcher for WP 1.3 from Ryan so Ill be using that to switch between themes when testing, assuming Ill be trying this theme malarky. Im already trying it just for the hell of it (on my PowerBooks local site, not *this one*. *Edit:* It occurs to me that I cannot decide whether its best to start with Kubrick and turn that into 'Marshmallow' or take 'Marshmallow' and _Kubrickise™_ it into a usable, user friendly theme. Pride makes we want to choose the later but practicalities make me think the former is the best way. Kubrick has been well bug tested by now whereas my site is just _me_ and im not too bothered if something broke for a while. Kubrick also has lots of neat touches that Id like to have in a theme but which this site doesnt have, like the way itll tell you what area of the archive youre in for instance, which people should really expect as its been done, My site has a few odd tweaks to it which may be difficult to find and remove with out good testing (me ;-) ), although some of those tweaks may be lost if it try to convert Kubrick, and some of those maybe good tweaks. I like the idea of altering mine though as itll be a good way to look through the WP1.3 theme code, dissecting between my site and Kubrick. I also dont yet know the Kubrick CSS (mine holds many redundant settings) well enough yet to know what Ill be altering most of the time, also being lazy Ill probably leave some stuff if its easier. Well, Ive still not made up my mind, both ways hold attractions and peril, however Ill no doubt have a quick stab at altering my site to make a style and see how that goes and how complicated it may get.
