Requirements:
Elgg v1.1
Once installed to your /mod directory, go to Tool Administration, use the new up/down/top/bottom function to move the theme to the bottom of the plugin list (so that it loads last).
It contains skins for all the plugins in the elgg v1.1 full package.

Wow Peter! I'm having a field day will all your new themes! Any chance of getting a Halloween theme by the end of the day for us USA trick-or-treaters?

hey peter great theme just one question i searched all over but cant find where to change the main white background colour ... behind where the profile fields are at ? please let me know where i need to edit to make changes to that particular colour ... thanks ...

@madshark, the profile area container div has an id of profile_info you can add your background colour to that. It is referenced in the theme plugin main css file views/default/css.php

Hi,
Thanks for this theme - it's a very clear tutorial for how to modify Elgg!
I think I found a bug though. If you login, minimize the spotlight, logout, and login again, you get a white screen. You have overridden pageshell.php (I'm guessing) to show the spotlight even for logged out users (a nice idea), but something dies with the combination of a closed spotlight and no active user. I'll poke around a bit to see if I can find a fix.

Hi AquaTerm, you're right - I tried to be clever with the spotlight, but it doesn't work.
To reinstate the default (and working correctly) spotlight add
<?php
if(isloggedin()){
?>
<!-- spotlight -->
<?php echo elgg_view('page_elements/spotlight', $vars); ?>
<?php
}
?>

.. add it to the pageshell footer instead of just the <?php echo elgg_view('page_elements/spotlight', $vars); ?> that is there now.

Pete,
It turns out there's been quite a discussion about this topic:
Rather than reinstating the missing code, I just deleted pageshell.php from the theme, as the only difference between the theme version and the standard was this code. Once I did that things worked fine.
