Minor Oversight in Ten Themes for Sharepoint

Posted on April 16th, 2009 Eric No comments

The 10 new Sharepoint themes that were released in March are absolutely great. They really give Sharepoint sites a different feel. However they have been released with a minor flaw. There is no styling for the Calendar! I don’t know if this was an oversight or what but the calendars still have the default blue coloring.

I suggest grabbing Heather Solomon’s Calendar CSS and include in any site where you plan to use these themes.

10 new themes WSP

Posted on March 26th, 2009 Eric No comments

I’ve seen this bouncing around still. Since Microsoft didn’t release the 10 new Sharepoint themes as a WSP package, it took Daniel Brown to create a WSP for easy installation. See his blog article at http://www.danielbrown.id.au/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=256 for information on how to get the file and how to install it.

Note on install, don’t activate all the features at one time. Wait a few minutes between feature activation on the farm or they will not all deploy.
