Himpressive Drupal Theme

The himpressive theme is the new core for all of my Drupal sites. You can find information on the Himpressive theme here, as it has it's own section on the site. A screenshot is provided, but you are on the site using the base version of himpressive, so just look around and you'll get an idea how the theme looks!

Working on Mobile version for site...

Since I've got my new blackberry, I have been playing around with some mobile browsing, which I've never really had the time or the phone to do before.

Corporate site to scale back

I've been thinking this over since I updated to this new himpressive theme, and have made the decision to scale back on the content of the Himerus Inc. site.

The site itself is great, I still like the design, and concept of the site, but with that in mind, I really can't take the time to maintain two blogs or sites with content basically on the same topic. So the site will be scaled back to only encompass basically a brochure site with information on the web design & development services I offer under the Himerus Inc. name.

The Himpressive Drupal theme is still under heavy development, and isn't quite ready yet for public release. There are quite a few issues to solve prior to it being ready to release.

Complete overhaul of Himpressive theme

Since recently updating himerus.com to Drupal, and breaking out an old PSD that I had originally started for the project I had titled "himpressive", I've been working on figuring out how to really make that into a Drupal theme that people would want to use, as well as a theme that I can use as a core starting block for all my

Modification to CSS Styling

I've been only moderately playing with this site in spare time since my quick implementation of the Himpressive theme.

I think that for the "theme" to be completely successful, it will first have to lose the static height it is set to now. It will require expanding the two columns to match height, and take into account column resizing when certain events happen like ajax loading of views, etc. This will remove the scrolling sections in the center sections as they are just too hard to appropriately adjust for. I had been able to properly modify column width by 20px to acommodate for scroll bars if they were present, but making them attractive using jScrollpane was impossible, as it never seems to work in my installations w/Drupal. The overall effect is tacky anyway, as inner page scrolling should only be used in rare cases in my opinion.

After tons of time with the slow Wordpress theme it was on, himerus.com is going to get a great upgrade to Drupal, and have a mild implementation of the Himpressive theme.

Himpressive was a theme that I started probably over a year ago, and when I was sooo close to being ready to convert it from my photoshop layout, the hard drive I had it on crashed, and it was lost forever. I spent some time immediately following to try to recreate it from memory, but got bored quickly, and it's been sitting for awhile.
