Paperclip themes for BlogEngine.Net 1.4, tweaked and widen

by mosessaur| 18 July 2008| 23 Comments

Last week I found Peperclip themes of BlogEngine.Net. It was adapted by Caio Proiete. But they wasn't totally supporting version 1.4 as well as they had few CSS issues. Beside I wished for more wider area.

Thanks to Caio Proiete for providing these themes. I worked with them and tweaked them to support BlogEngine 1.4 and to provide more wide area for blog posts. You can download first 2 themes now (Cactus and Fall). Hopefully by next week I'll be done with the other2 themes. It worth to mention that I just modified the CSS, MasterPage and CommentView control.

Main CSS modification was around to support Widget Zone including Out of The Box Widgets. Beside fix few incorrect displaying styles

MasterPage modification was basically to provide WidgetZone. I also removed the Navigation section on the left menu and provide it as a widget which you can fine in the same download packages

While CommentView control modified to provide better comment adding form and better comment display with Avatars.

As Caio Proiete mentioned feel free to modify but don't forget to keep his credits.

Wayne United States on 7/6/2008 9:24 PM Nice!  I would wrap up my own theme, which is a further enhancement of the standard 'Leaves' theme, and give it to anyone that wants it.  I'm constantly changing and modifying it.

Perhaps I should formalize that a bit and create a download for it once I'm done with it.  Time...I just need more time.  Smile  Thanks for the links!

I think you change the pic and the styles (colors). Because there many themes that looks exactly like the paperclip, but with different header image and style (color)

Wayne United States on 7/18/2008 2:41 AM Ok, I did it.  I modified an existing WordPress theme for BlogEngine.  Took only a few hours and I am using it for my blog now.  I'll wrap up a few loose ends and provide it for everyone in a nice package like the rest of the themes.  

Thanks for the inspiration Moses!

mosessaur Egypt on 7/24/2008 4:57 AM Mohamed Azab No not really Mohamed, Actually Mad mentioned there are couples of style classes added to CommentView but they shouldn't affect this theme.
I modified this theme however in Comment Form Area. And added Filter by APML to it.
