I am upgrading my Blog from Blog Engine V1.3 to V1.4.5.0 and I am going to change the theme SilverLight to another good view one named “Dilectio”, some changes are needed to fit my opinion.
Go BlogEngine.NET to download the new version of engine.
Go http://www.onesoft.dk/ to download the theme which I am using, it’s named “Dilectio” and based http://designdisease.com/.
Remove all content of “SideBar2”from the /themes/Dilectio/site.master add add the widgets which you want to “SideBar1”.
Open the file /themes/Dilectio/style.css:
- Set the width of “.SCS” from “435px” to “595px”
- Set the width of “.SC” from “435px” to “595px”
- Set the width of “.SR” from “500px” to “320px” (The same width of “SRL”)
- Remove all elements associated with “SRR”
The URLs are too width to broken the content-div box, and it is useless for users, so we should remove it from search result.
Remove the line “<span class="url"><%# ShortenUrl((String)Eval("RelativeLink")) %></span>” from /search.aspx.
Known Bugs of this theme:
- When the picture is too width to fit the content panel, it will break the layout of whole page, even text do.
- No widget can be supported in this theme, may be I have not test totally.
- There is a exceeding of width when using 1024*768 as your desktop resolution.
- If the content of one article have not been well formatted, it will break the layout and so on . (I have fixed this bug by adding extra div whose styles contains “clear:both”).
