We are pleased to announce the release of a new theme for Geeklog called Nouveau! Nouveau is a fixed / fluid width, blue & grey neutral theme intended to be a suppliment to the Professional theme that is included in a default Geeklog v1.4.1 install.
We have tested it in Firefox 2, IE 6/7, Opera 9, and Safari beta 3 on Windows. In other browsers, your mileage may vary. Check out a working demo at
http://nouveau.gllabs.org[*1] , and learn more at
http://www.gllabs.org[*2] .
Briefly, Nouveau features:
- Small size and faster page loads thanks to using Joe Mucchiello's Caching Template Library[*3] . This speeds up the rendering of your site by compiling templates for faster page loads. Additionally, only .thtml files that differ from the stock Professional theme that ships with Geeklog are needed to complete this theme. CTL version 2.3.1 or higher is required.
- Tableless markup. All appropriate markup is created with <div> tags and css elements.
- SEO friendly where content comes first in the code, followed by the left and right blocks.
- Both Fluid and Fixed width versions of the theme, one line configurable in header.thtml.
- Validates to HTML 4.01 Transitional (for GL v1.4.1 version, GL v1.5 to be HTML 4.01 Strict or XHTML Transitional 1.0 via a switch in the theme's functions.php)
- Support for a 4 level cascading menu in the header.
- MooTools Javascript Library[*4] v1.11 integration, including some javascript widgets[*5] .
- Additional typography elements with quote and code styling, multiple list styling options, and more.
- Extra block styling options for both left and right blocks.
- Yahoo User Interface [*6] reset-fonts-grids.css, and base-min.css support.

complete documentation[*7] for detailed information. If you have any issues, please post them in the
