The latest news on VanillaForums.org and the Vanilla community

New Drapes by Mark


Today we launched a new theme for VanillaForums.org with a much needed increase in contrast over the last one. We had a lot of fun making this theme, and we think it’s a good indicator for how much you can change the look & feel of Vanilla without making many changes to the xhtml. This theme, for example, only required that we edit the default.master.php master view. Every other view throughout Garden, Vanilla, and Conversations remained unchanged. We hope you like it!

    just as a curiosity

    is it possible (it’s very small, after all) that in the homepage of vanillaforums.org, in the screenshot of the discussion about the desktop, on the bookmarked discussions list in the side-panel, the first one is dated 32 of December ??

    Theme is good, but what about Vannila 2? is it dead? when will it be ready for production?

    @Giorgi – We’re working on Vanilla 2 constantly. We’re not going to release it until we’re confident it is ready. We don’t have an official release date yet. If you want to watch the progress, check out the changes at the GitHub repo. You can also help out with development by reporting bugs or submitting bug fixes:
