Chapter 54. Tweaking a Theme to Meet Your Needs

If you're like meeven a little bitwhat you really want to know about this theme stuff is "How do I get one up and running as quickly as possible?" I admire you: You're a person of action. Let's do it.

The absolute, flat-out easiest way to quickly customize a theme to meet your needs is to just change the graphics and colors. In other words, find a theme that has the basic layout you like, and then modify its graphics and colors to suit you. I use the Sunset theme, which is included with PHP-Nuke, as an example. You'll find this theme, not surprisingly, in the Themes folder of your PHP-Nuke Web site, in a subfolder namedyou knew thisSunset. The theme has one main file, theme.php, a Style subfolder, and an Images subfolder.
