Coriolis (web theme)

Static test from 20 March 2013

Beta Candidate for CSS3 and flexbox compatible desktops circa 5 May 2013

Late Alpha for HTML 3.2 circa 5 May 2013

Coriolis is a web theme in development by Rose Dieteman, Scotty Gammenthaler, and James Gholston with some help from Mike Delaney for The Moon Society's 2013 site migration and upgrade.

It is based on Zen 5 for Drupal 7 with special attention to mobile device and legacy browser compatibility.

Developers

• Rose Dieteman -- Cat herder, Menus, and content
• Scotty Gammanthaler -- PHP coding, especially on the custom theme switcher, and menus
• James Gholston -- Graphics, Page Layout, CSS, Theme data files, some PHP

Themes

Admin Appearence Menu 'screenshot' for CSS3 Phone

There are 11 component themes, all subthemes of Zen 5 with all HTML 5 specific elements replaced for HTML 4.01 compatibility.

• CSS3 Desktop (beta candidate)
• CSS3 Tablet (beta candidate)
• CSS3 Phone (beta candidate)
• CSS2 Desktop (beta candidate)
• CSS2 Mobile (beta candidate)
• MSIE 8 and 9 (beta candidate)
• MSIE 7 (beta candidate)
• MSIE 5.5 and 6 (beta candidate)
• HTML 3.2 (beta candidate)
• Dropoff (beta candidate)
• Dropoff Mobile (beta candidate)

The Dropoffs are intended to be maximally compatible with the most severe legacy cases but also include CSS decorations for web browsers that we simply failed to identify.
