Today we announced some changes to our Basic Theme.
Thoughts?
One is glad to be of service...
It reminds CS v1.x default theme. I like it better than the original Basic Theme...

Then, i cannot understand Basic blog is inherited from Basic Site Theme only
I want it mostly like the gold coast Theme. Every Blog with different CSS
then, i had error by the tags: aspx not found (remark , Site is not set to Basic Theme, only the Blog)
errorpath=/cs/themes/blogs/basic/taglist.aspx ( not found > taglist.aspx ( not delivered in the actual download "basic" ) )
how can i add tags on the home page?
thanks!
and more,can the forum display like default theme?
tags problem!
site and blog are both set to basic theme.
......
Basic theme doesn's support multiple level forum subgroups.... Can this be fixed somehow?
Thank you,
Iurii
Hi lurii,
Thanks for the suggestion! We will consider it in our next iteration.
This theme is great as a starting point for a custom theme (as suggested in Ben and Wyatt's CS Theme book).
Unfortunately there is a render bug that shows up on Firefox (1.5.0.8 at least) and Safari (3.0.4) browsers on the Blog portion of the unmodified theme. The background image doesn't render all the way to the bottom if the blog post is longer than the minimum height for content area, or if the blog post is longer than a single page view. Is there a fix (maybe in CSS) for this issue with the Basic theme?
Thanks!
Here is a little more information. Hopefully it will help someone find a solution... again I'm testing with an unmodified version of the Basic theme.
It appears the CommonContentArea div is not getting the proper height back when blog post data is displayed in either post.aspx, or postlist.aspx. You can see it more clearly (for debugging) if you put the Basic theme's bg.gif image in the CommonContentArea class instead of the main frame.
Please let me know if anyone can fix this theme.
Thanks again!
RichardO:The background image doesn't render all the way to the bottom if the blog post is longer than the minimum height for content area, or if the blog post is longer than a single page view.
I'm not sure what the issue is here. The CommonContentArea <div> wraps the content -- containing the blog post and any information between the navigation bar and the footer. In my testing (including Safari 3.0.4), this is always true.
Note that the CommonContentArea <div> will not cover the entire height of the browser window, only the content.
Can you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing?
I understand what you are saying and how the nested divs work. The issue is that any background added to the CommonContentArea ends after the first few lines of the post and the text continues over the background of the main frame. Any background put in a footer added outside/below the CommonContentArea div also shows up a few lines into the blog post, instead of with the footer text which is correctly at the bottom.
I'm working on screen shots that I will post this afternoon. I'll also make a live link that I can PM you.
Thanks.
Okay, sorry for the delay.Too much work today. Here are the promised screen shots.
Just to confirm, this is the unmodified Basic theme downloaded from the link at the top of this thread. It works great except for the display issue on Firefox and Safari that I mentioned. The issue only seems to affect /Themes/Blogs/basic/post.aspx and postlist.aspx (which in turn could be coming from theme.Master, or the basic site theme's Common/master.Master from which they inherit layout and the site theme's CSS styles).
First on Internet Explorer 7, looks great. Here is a blog post that shows the basic theme's bg.gif image going all the way to the bottom of the page. This image is applied to the MainContainer div in screen.css.
[ externally linked screen shots removed ]
Below is the same blog post being rendered in Firefox. Just FYI... I tested with the same results on Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP Pro, and Firefox 2.0 on Mac OS X Leopard. Notice the bg.gif tiled image stops short of the bottom of the screen. In fact its distance from the bottom is directly relative to the vertical size of the browser window. So if you resize the browser window, the distance of the background from the bottom changes.
I hope that helps clarify what I'm seeing on multiple machines, multiple browsers, and both local and live deployments.
Any help you can provide to fix this issue would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

It appears that there was a change slightly after the updated basic theme was released.
On the blogs/basic/theme.Master file, add
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
just before the </asp:Content> tag.
I'll see about getting the download updated.
