Drupal theme: Brushed Steel

Here is a Drupal 5.x theme called Brushed Steel. It was created using Zen --> stripped --> Bare Bones, with the JQuery port of Curvy Corners javascript library. (At the time of posting this, I'm waiting for CVS access to post this on http://drupal.org, going forward please check there for the latest version.)

I've noticed that the original source of the Curvy Corners JQuery port is no longer available. It is now available at http://www.aspcode.net/JQuery-Curvy-Corners.aspx, however I'm not sure as to version compatibility. The original port (v 1.2.11), is available here.

The Curvy Corners JQuery port is not bundled with the http://drupal.org download of brushed_steel because it is LGPL as opposed to GPL licensed. The zip in this post includes jquery.curvycorners.js, however it is the initial version of the theme, and updated versions available via http://drupal.org will require themes/brushed_steel/third-party/jquery.curvycorners.js.

And finally, the reason for using the JQuery port as opposed to vanilla Curvy Corners is because it allows you to access elements using the squeaky clean JQuery syntax as opposed to clunky Javascript syntax:

JQuery $(elems) for accesing primary menu tabs:

$("div#primary ul.links-menu li";)

Javascript syntax for accessing primary menu tabs:

primary = document.getElementById("primary"); ... results; // many lines of code later

(JQuery is included with Drupal 5.x)
