Forums / Cotonti / Development / The problem of Themes

The current poll on index shows that the main thing Cotonti users wonder about is how to create themes for Cotonti. The documents we have so far are either very general or very specific.

In the meantime if you enter Themes in Download section, just about 20 themes for Genoa, some of which are not available anymore.

These 2 facts demonstrate that Cotonti needs some tutorials in theme making and more free themes for Siena.

I would like to gather a kind of round table here to discuss the problem of Themes here and find possible solutions.

Personally I'm doing my best to add more articles on extension development, but I am not a theme creator, so the only valuable article I can make about themes is a good reference of supported CoTemplate syntax (I feel we need it right after 0.9.6 which adds long-awaited FOR constructs).

I have an idea to sponsor a contest of tutorials in theme making. We had a skin contest once and that was quite successful, but I don't think it is time to run such a contest again now.
