The design itself is the number one criterion. Once we have the winning theme we can look at making it compatible with modules, but for now, we want to keep the requirements to a minimum to make it as accessible as possible to a wide range of designers.

If its a default theme, presumably it will display semi-cohesively all ss modules right? thats a pretty huge undertaking... I was thinking about submitting a blog theme..

The standard SiteConfig variables ($Title, $Tagline) can be used, however.

As far as module coverage, there are no requirements, but any popular modules such as blog or ecommerce that you want to include are welcome. We're being careful not to include too many requirements so that we can make sure we have a nice batch of submissions to choose from.

Can the theme have some SiteConfig variables? I think it would be really cool to have a theme that allows for multiple color schemes, and maybe even basic grid options.

And yes, same as @dospuntocero question, what modules should it cover?

Thanks!

ahh... all the information is inside the Facebook app. Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:40:54 +1300 francisco arenas http://www.silverstripe.org/the-ss-theme-contest-your-opportunity-to-design-the-default-theme-for-silverstripe-3-0/#PageComment_9192 http://www.silverstripe.org/the-ss-theme-contest-your-opportunity-to-design-the-default-theme-for-silverstripe-3-0/#PageComment_9191 the new theme needs to cover some modules? say news, or features like banners, etc?

because the current base theme doesn't have HomePage for example, you need to add it by yourself.

I think it will be easier if we add some definition on this matter or the final theme will be poor... i can provide some modules to help on the base site, like banner rotator / showcase, multi column information and simple contact form. i think that could cover a base working silverstripe site Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:34:13 +1300 francisco arenas http://www.silverstripe.org/the-ss-theme-contest-your-opportunity-to-design-the-default-theme-for-silverstripe-3-0/#PageComment_9191
