Typically you can point out residual design elements from thematic based themes. I catch myself in that a lot. And it takes a lot of work to break those elements.</p> <p>It's the same with a lot of framework themes. You can typically tell the framework a website is based on. Thesis is another that is very typical in that. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-are-you-using-thematic/page/9#post-25465 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:53:04 +0000 wlanni 25465@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Recently developed two sites for a massive arts initiative in Los Angeles for the J.

It's not CSS - It's a tool for helping to create CSS - A CSS framework. The variables, math functions, mixens, etc. speed the process and (for me) just makes sense.

My search ended when I found the Thematic framework.</p> <p>Just make sure you're using a child theme and NEVER editing the core WordPress or Thematic files. This rule of thumb is for <em>your</em> benefit. </p> <p>From what I can see, you're using Thematic as your actual theme. As a result, every time you upgrade Thematic, all your modified code will be overwritten. </p> <p>See here: <a href="http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/wordpress-how-to-easily-create-a-thematic-child-theme" rel="nofollow">http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/wordpress-how-to-easily-create-a-thematic-child-theme</a></p> <p>Post back once you've made progress with your design. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-are-you-using-thematic/page/8#post-25011 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:50:31 +0000 jmastrom 25011@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Howdy!</p> <p>I am making my first serious foray into Wordpress. I think Wordpress seriosly rocks.</p> <p>Anyway, I started a site <a href="http://www.wptutorialseo.com," rel="nofollow">http://www.wptutorialseo.com,</a> and planned on using the site to blog about Wordpress mods and plugins, as well as SEO.</p> <p>For the last few days I have been suffering theme paralysis/overload. I have seen so many themes, and frameworks, that my eyes glaxed over, so I had to stop for some gin. I have been drinking too much gin.</p> <p>I recalled that one of my wrox books (I am not buying anymore of them, but that is another story) mentioned some frameworks. After trying Sandbox (way too basic), and a couple of others, I decided to try thematic. So far so good.</p> <p>So... after a long winded psedo-explanation here is what I hope to do with thematic:<br /> Mod it like a wild horse. Of course, I am a noob, and a bit of a hack.. but what the heck. I can do PHP/MySQL, and it looks like the community here is "goldilocks" )not to big, not too small. So hopefully I can help you all out while I partake in your knowledge and experience.</p> <p>Peace<br /> Joe </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-are-you-using-thematic/page/8#post-24951 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:19:42 +0000 Dominor Novus 24951@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I've recently finished this website for an entertainment company:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebutterflycompany.ie/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebutterflycompany.ie/</a></p> <p>Refresh the home page if you want to play the flash animation through.</p> <p>Thematic is a fantastic framework that you can pretty much let do its thing bar a little color scheming, font styling and graphics. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-are-you-using-thematic/page/8#post-24904 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 02:36:01 +0000 robYardman 24904@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Just finishing up a customers website.</p> <p><a href="http://www.petersonoutdoors.biz/" rel="nofollow">http://www.petersonoutdoors.biz/</a></p> <p>This was built off the Power Blog theme as a start.
