More Vox Themes Coming?

By Lewisham on Jun 25, 2008 at 6:54 AM 3 Vote 0 Votes

Hi everyone, I've been using Vox for a while at http://alt.vg . I really enjoy all the community aspects and such, but the lack of domain mapping is beginning to frustrate.

I'm currently using the "Personalised" template with the Dark Grey CSS theme on top. I'm really attached to this theme, I think it looks excellent.

Is there any chance that this theme is going to land in the Moveable Type any time soon, or is there a good way to extract that theme out from Vox and into my own Moveable Type install?

Thanks guys!

    I deem that the biggest failure on MT is lack of themes. That's why most of bloggers choose Wordpress while not MT now.

    @Lewisham » The default template set that ships with MT is very similar to the Vox template set, porting your theme from Vox should only take an hour or so. I like your idea about porting the themes that can easily be personalized with a banner graphic as that will provide many users with a lot of options. Many people on Vox (including myself: http://beau.vox.com) prefer the customizable themes! We realize that lack of themes is a problem; we're working on ways to make this easier so that people can take advantage of all the great features that come with Movable Type.

      Seeing the personalisable themes from Vox in MT would be awesome! It seems to fit with the market demographic for MT users too... give them the bare bones to flesh out something their own. I'll have a go at doing some CSS tweaks to the default templates at the weekend. Thanks Beau!
