Please read this file in its entirety before installing this theme. #WARNINGS# 1. USE A SUB-THEME, IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD If you plan on making changes, I strongly recommend that you create a sub-theme. Creating a sub-theme is by far the best way to ensure your changes will not be overridden. It is also invaluable when it comes to debugging because you can easily see determine if there are bugs with the Sky theme or with your code. If you don't know how to create one, see this page: http://drupal.org/node/225125 2. ENABLING TRANSPARENCY SUPPORT FOR IE6 The Sky theme comes with transparency support for Internet Explorer 6 using IEPNGFIX.HTC (http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix). You will need to modify the CSS, to include absolute paths from your site root to the Sky theme directory. Absolute paths are required and as I do not know which directory you are going to install in, you'll have to edit this manually. Scroll down for detailed instructions on exactly how to do this, if you are unsure. #INSTALLATION# 1. Choose a directory for your themes. It's strongly recommended that you do NOT install this theme in the Drupal theme directory (the directory that contains Garland), because this is considered "hacking core" and because when you upgrade Drupal itself, you risk overwriting any changes you made, or on a Mac, loosing the theme entirely. It is recommended that you install the theme in one of the following directories: * /sites/all/themes/sky * /sites/default/themes/sky * /sites/mysite/themes/sky (if you are running a multi-site setup) 2. Visit the admin/build/themes page, and enable and set the Sky theme to the default theme. 3. Not that the theme is enabled, visit the theme settings page, by clicking the "configure" on the admin/build/themes page. There you will find quite a few settings that you can customize. #TROUBLESHOOTING# * Make sure you have the files directory has been created and has the correct permissions assigned. Drupal should take care of this during the installation process, but if you are getting errors that Drupal cannot create the custom.css file, it's likely due to permissions issues or the lack of a files directory.
