About Livethemer

Build your own unique, professional Drupal theme without writing any code.

Livethemer introduces a modular approach to Drupal themes, by providing discreet theme pieces ("variations") that can be mixed-and-matched to easily & quickly create a custom theme. Livethemer.com supports this by providing a variation ecosystem where new variations can be downloaded.

As a demonstration of what's possible, the theme on our marmaladesoul.com site has been created with a beta version of Livethemer. View the screencast below.

Livethemer works best with the Livethemer Base theme or with Zen or Fusion but many variations will work fine with just about any Drupal 7 theme.

Key concepts

Variations

Variations are the basic building components of Livethemer. They are modular, so you can pick and choose which variations to include in your theme. The Livethemer module comes with a set of starter variations, and many more will be available for download from this site (livethemer.com) over time.

Variations are categorised; some allow you to style blocks, others affect typography or page layout, and so on.

Collections

Collections are groups of variations that have been designed to go well together.

Settings files

Livethemer settings files store all the information required to pull together your chosen variations. Most variations also allow customisation via a variation settings form, and this information is also stored in the settings file. Settings files are portable, meaning you can send yours to a friend, or even (as soon as we're ready) upload it as a collection on this site.
