We fade to grey
I always spend a hard time when I have to choose a name for a new theme I’m designing. Sometimes, it even takes me more time than I need to finish the whole theme. I had a long hesitation between lutine’s “Costume trois pièces” and Kevin Marks “Devenir En Gris”, and I finally choosed the last one for it makes me remember of an old song I really liked when I was much younger than I am now.
“Devenir En gris” is a three columns theme that was originally designed to be a Wordpress port of Aurelie’s Typepad design. I gradually modified it until now. It is also the first theme I designed in order to release it.
“Devenir En Gris” is available as a Wordpress 1.5 theme only. It is under the GNU GPL which means you can use and modify it as long as you give credits back.
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide

Félicitations pour tes thèmes. J’aime particulièrement ton thème ‘’old train'’ que j’ai adopté. Pourrais-tu me dire comment tu fais pour afficher la date en français??? Merci
le Mercredi 2 février 2005 à 07:43
Merci à tous les deux.
Pour avoir Wordpress en français, il faut aller télécharger le fichier de traduction que tu trouveras chez Xavier Borderie .
Le fichier n’existe pour l’instant que pour WP 1.2 mais ça passe très bien.
Si tu es sous wp 1.2, prends le fichier en iso, sinon en UTF-8, WP étant en UTF-8 depuis la vesion 1.3

Merci Beaucoup!!! Et bonne continuité avec ton blog; je viendrai faire un tour de temps en temps. A+

Thanks for this Theme.
One point to note, there seems to be an error in the sidebar.php which causes it not to validate. It does validate if you remove the line calling the register link.
Hope this helps,
Tom

y a un petit bug …
le Mercredi 23 février 2005 à 00:07
et les commentaires identifie comme spams continuent a paraitre dans le menu c est normal ?
le Mercredi 23 février 2005 à 10:19
I downloaded this file, but it only included header.php
le Mercredi 23 février 2005 à 10:21
Tom: I know that bug, I’ll correct it as soon as possible.
romu: dans ce cas, ca vient de la fonction d’affichage de wordpress, pas de moi.
john: I just checked the file and it works perfectly. Your problem is strange.
le Mardi 1 mars 2005 à 07:54
I can’t get the comment form to show up. It says that it’s closed.
le Mardi 1 mars 2005 à 08:01
Nevermind my previous post. I figured out the problem.
le Jeudi 3 mars 2005 à 10:54
Merci pour ton Devenir en gris.
Une question: comment peux-je visualizer les pages statiques au coté droit de la fenetre (celles que j’ai crées avec WP 1.5)?
Merci

thankyou for 3 column and theme.
may i change the grey to a colour?
if so, can you tell me how?
with respect from marion
le Samedi 5 mars 2005 à 17:10
Stefania: when I made the theme, I did not support the new pages feature. I will add them soon, let’s say… tonight.
Marion: sure you can.
Just change the pictures I use for background and replace grey by the color you want.

neuro:

I’m having a couple problems with the theme, although it’s really fantastic. On my site (www.supercres.net), under the “links” menu on the right side, there’s a line break before each link category which isn’t there on your site. I can’ see where it came from and I can’t figure out how to make it go away.
Also, is there any way to get rid of the “Pages” header in the “Pages” menu on the left menu bar? On the individual pages, is there any way to get rid of the metatext and comments area altogether?
le Vendredi 11 mars 2005 à 07:37
Thanks for putting this out there - I really liked the three-column layout. I had to change the color scheme, though - check me out to see the changes.
Merci!

hi neuro
i managed to find out how to make background.png.
now i would like to change the colour of the text in both right & left penels.
Here is a screenshot. I want to change the black heading to maroon. And change the pale grey to a darker colour so it can be read. I have looked and looked and guessed where it might be in style.css. I cannot find where?
Does anyone know?
thankyou from marion

Hey there,
Your we fade to grey theme looks great. I just tried untaring it on my server and then selecting the theme. I get a page that looks nothing like what it should. It has no background and no formatting, only plain html of the blogroll, and everything else shows up on the left side of the page. I am running your spiral theme now and it works fine, along with many other themes. Any ideas? Thanks again for the great themes!
le Vendredi 25 mars 2005 à 14:31
I like this theme. I would like to change the colour of the comment txt from black to white. I can’t find where to change it. Now the text isn’t visible. See http://www.weerden.org/logboekgijs.html
Then click on “Start Logboek 7″ The comment txt is not visible because it is also black.

Hi,
This theme looks VERY good for me, it is peaceful and harmonic.
And from a tecnical side: everything is there, specialy the “recents posts” and the “last comments”.
This is great, I have only to look at this and I will see, if someone has written a post.
Maybe I am blind, but I found this not in another template/theme.
For me personally I would wish two things, one seems to be easy and I hope to find a way to to this (in the CSS maybe?), but the second is complex, but would be great.
1) The greyish number, where we can see in big numbers, how many comments are there, should be a bit darker. If you have a monitor/laptop, what is a bit light (clear), it is very difficult to see the number.
2) I saw on a theme a possibility to change the text-height. For elderly people this is very good. I guess, this is difficult to make, but here is the link for the template, what has this funcion at the right top of the page:
http://www.scarletblaze.com/wp/?p=3
Is there a chance that someone could give some info (or even a file how to integrate such a line?!
Thanks in advance!

And the calendar works not correct.
That is bad.
When I write a new “thread” (blog), then this day is “linked” in the calendar.
But when someone writes a comment, the day in the calendar is not link. If we look at the calendar then, it seems, at these “only-comments-days” was nothing, although it was.
Any ideas?
le Dimanche 24 avril 2005 à 09:36
markus: I don’t think wordpress calendar displays commented days as it does for posted days.
All the theme does is calling the calendar function somewhere in the template and display it.

List of Wordpress 1.5 Three Column Templates
After browsing hundreds of wordpress templates/themes, I found the following list of Wordpress 1.5 three columns templates….

Cool theme!
Is there a way to get rid of the “>> bullets” that appear on the menu lists? IE doesnt show them but firefox does.
Thanks!

Pas trop difficile à créer ton “templates” tu n’as rien changé du tout … c’est exactement celui que j’ai créé à partir de Typepad… pas d’honneteté envers tes clients, et tu me casse mon originalité en le refourguant à tout le monde…
pas grave je le modifierai mais je ne te trouve aucun talent de designer
le Samedi 21 mai 2005 à 00:37
I just found a bug in devenir that is VERY easy to fix (though it took me a while to figur that out).
The storycontent uses content before to create a text bullet. BUT that bullet is applied to both ordered and unordered lists.
All that is needed is to change this
.storycontent li:before {
content: “0BB 0A0 0A0 “;
}
to this:
.storycontent ul li:before {
content: “0BB 0A0 0A0 “;
}
and the ordered lists will work just fine.

Hi
I totally love your template! But why does not the comments works?
Please help me!
Regards,
Maria
le Vendredi 27 mai 2005 à 12:28
I re-installed Wordpress, so no it works again
le Mercredi 22 juin 2005 à 14:57
The them is not compatible with Netscape or Firefox? Any suggestions– perhaps a quick fix, or a similar theme that is more broadly compatible?
le Mercredi 22 juin 2005 à 15:02
As I don’t have any window machien I have more trouble with IE than with Firefox which I use as my main browser.
Can you tell me what your problem is please?
le Mercredi 22 juin 2005 à 15:35
I opened my site in Firefox (not sure what version) last night and it did not display three columns, instead everything was left justified: first came text of posts, then came left column material, then came right column material, all in a line down the page. I checked in Netscape (4.7) this morning, and same basic result.
le Mercredi 22 juin 2005 à 15:41
In fact, my problem sounds just like Todd’s (comment 26).
le Mercredi 29 juin 2005 à 01:22
Hi, I love our template, but the problem is that the “comments” don’t show just comments, but also recent trackbacks, which are almost all spam. How do I get it to show only comments and not trackbacks or ping backs. My blog is at http://www.acharya03.org/wordpress. Thanks!
le Mercredi 29 juin 2005 à 01:35
oops, never mind– had an old version .
