CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi, I really like CMSMS but here's the problem. While I personally think the default themes are great and easy to modify to produce a clean and efficient layout for information presentation, I am also being asked for things like "more movement and colour." OK 

I am doing these sites for free, for classical musical ensembles in my area. I'm a programmer, not a graphic designer, and I just don't have time to play with graphic-oriented themes. So, I thought perhaps if I could say something like "OK, I can get a nice colourful theme for you for $X."

(BTW I did look through themes.cmsmadesimple.org and tried downloading the sunflower theme, but got an error: "DTD Version mismatch, cannot import.")

Any takers?

Sunflower theme is not a template which you can download per ThemeManager to your site.

You must copy / paste / attach the parts by yourself  .

cyberman, thank you!!!

look at this site? i make templates for fun...

Mark, thanks for that! How could I convince you to port Andreas 04 to CMSMS? That theme together with the image code you have on your "into orbit" page would make a pretty nice package for someone who wanted a very lively site. (I think!!)

BTW after looking at your page I adopted Andreas 01 for one of my own sites. I didn't see how I could get it from your site so I used the one from the CMSMS themes site. I tweaked it a little, it seems to work very well:

It should be easy. Please look here

There you will found a video tutorial (7,9 MB) how you can transform themes from oswd.org to CMSms  .

Cool, thanks for that 

I'm giving it a go now. If it works out of course I'll make it available.

Cool! I was able to get it working, was just waiting to move it to the final location before letting people know. I ended up moving some things around to make it work for this site, here's the current (temporary) location:
