Adaptivetheme 7.x-2.x includes a new layout engine that drives both responsive and adaptive layouts using media queries. We've made it super easy to configure layouts for standard desktops and laptops, and tablet and smartphone size screens. This video features Pixture Reloaded, an Adaptivetheme subtheme available for free download on Drupal.org and shows off the layout settings and a brief run down on how it all works.
I get asked all the time how to add a CSS file to Drupal, its seems like the most rudimentary thing to do in a modern website, however Drupal has more than one way to add CSS files so here's an in depth explanation of the different ways you can add your files and why you might choose a particular method.
The docs team have spotlighted Drupal 7 theme documentation for May, you can read all about it here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/143419

A recent client wanted to remove everything from the user login page when the site was in maintenance (or Site off-line as its referred to in most system messages and documentation). Just showing the user login form when the site is off-line actually makes a lot of sense because whats the point of showing things like primary links, search block or whatever else might show on your normal user login page.
Its relatively easy to hide content in Drupal using CSS, however its a whole different ball game to hide content and keep it accessible to all site visitors.

For Drupal 7 we wanted a way to hide content that worked in all browsers and avoided many of the issues associated with current techniques.
I've been asked a few times by Drupal themers and designers how to do 100% header and footer backgrounds in Adaptivetheme—and retain the theme settings so end users can still adjust the overall page width. Actually this is pretty easy - its just a matter of adding a couple of wrapper DIV's in the right places and overriding the layout variables that Adaptivetheme uses to set the width.
First we wrap the various page elements in a set of wrapper DIV's. The new .container DIV will be full width and the .container-width wrapper will set the width - see the PHP snippet below.
In the latest bleeding edge DEV version of Adaptivetheme we've introduced a new feature—the ability to export your theme settings. This is useful if you need to move your Drupal theme and you can't just export and move the database as well.
How to add a Superfish drop menu to Genesis or Adaptivetheme is one of the most common questions I get. Believe when I say I get emails from well intentioned Drupal users on a weekly basis asking me this. So now, please stop emailing me, I relent, heres how its done.
First, download the archive attached to this page. Unzip it and place in your theme.
