Hello, world!
I would like to present my Multimedia Systems – COMP6212 final project, which is a WordPress theme. In this project, I teamed up with Ferlix Yanto Wang. In the process of creating this theme, we browsed the internet for WordPress themes to find an inspiration. After that, we decided to create a theme that is minimalist, but is still satisfying to look at. We had to modify the style.css file inside the theme folder to modify the styling of the theme. In this project, we modified the “sandbox” theme which is a theme that consists of only the contents of a wordpress site without any styling. This theme is intended as the underlying part for developing a wordpress theme as the developers only need to modify the style.css and some of the .php files as desired.
List of changes that we have made:
- CSS
- Added classes and IDs to change the style based on the tag
- Use border to separate a sidebar from the other, a post from the other
- Use rotateY on the sidebar title when user hovers the mouse over it
- Changes the font color on links when user hovers over it
- Uses custom fonts from dafont.com
- Modified the color of text boxes into grey
- Uses hover.css
- PHP
- Removed secondary sidebar
- Modified “skip to content” link into login/logout button
- Added homepage button on upper right corner
