Way too many css files is not cool, I prefer to separate in that way:

generic.css (stuff like module grids, reset, generic classes etc; it goes first so it not distracting in Firebug)
main.css
ie6.css
ie7.css
enchanced.css (webkit and mozilla stuff like animation and transitions; @media queries)
print.css
page_name-of-page.css (if some blog post has completely unique design)

Great Framework but IE6.0 seems to spit out the 3 column version

Wow, just finally wrapped my head around this. To think I’ve been copying thematic and renaming it to test variations of themes lol. I think this might help just a bit. Nicely written too. Thanks for your work bro.

Thanks, Allan. I think you get what you’re looking for with this version: just don’t use default.css. Use one of the simpler stylesheets instead.

WOW IAN. I didn’t think there would be much more room for improvement considering how great Thematic already is, but you have definitely proved me wrong. *Downloads Thematic and updates about 3 sites, without a single headache*

I haven’t started playing with 0.7 just yet but in the future will there be any ‘pluggable’ styles that tackle colors/background images/borders specifically? With 0.6 it was a bit tough/time consuming to figure which color styles to override using the child theme’s css. So, I started building a mod to Thematic(0.6) that stripped out the default colors, borders and backgrounds, so that I could start with a clean slate(ie: Sandbox). That way I could use the child theme to add the color, border and background styles. 0.7 may do the trick, but I thought I’de ask anyway.

Great work as usual. KEEP IT COMING!

I find this development really interesting. I like the idea of an importable stylesheet for basic layout, a different one for typography, one for site specific stuff and the like.

That’s an idea I’ll have to think about using in the future.

If your modifications were done in a Child Theme all you have to do is … upload the new version of Thematic. That’s it.

okay, you are now really putting my lack of knowledge / ease of child themes to the test. I’ve done what for me is a lot of modification but (after creating backups) will upgrade this weekend. What steps do I need to take? I’ve done plenty of reading so feel free to refer me to another post if it’s already spelled out.

which by the way, I have created a very cool child theme with zero knowledge of site design / programming / code whatever it is that you guys do so well and that has been possible because of your VERY informative posts, thank you. it feels great to have what I want (I’m rather particular
