There is now also a new  YAML Debug, you can use it to validate your themes.

BlankTheme aims to become a comprehensive Theme Development Framework for the Zikula Application Framework. Its objective is to ease the development of new Xanthia themes as well as the porting of open source themes. The BlankTheme team has partnered with the  YAML CSS-Framework to advance theme development and to create usable, flexible, valid, and standards compliant themes.

BlankTheme can work together with the  MenuTree multi level menublock by Jusuff. Several features are added to BlankTheme to ease the integration of the block in, for example, a navigation bar at the top of the page. A lot of predefined menu designs (dropdown and flyout) are available for this block. The MenuTree block code itself should be downloaded from Jusuff's site  here. Only the additional templates are hosted within this project.

A number of Menu designs for the extmenu Core menu block are being developed as well. A first set of 24 horizontal and 23 vertical menus are ready, check out the downloads. These provide of course only 1 menu level. Check out the description below and the explanation and demonstration of the  vertical menus and  horizontal menus.

Enjoy!
