Same one, but trying it on the "view demo" link: http://www.cart-lab.com/demo_4x/home.php?skin=cssskin

Thanks for pointing that out, I had older version of the CSS files up instead, I've updated these accordingly and the demo will now validate properly. :wink:

No prob :lol: As an xhtml/css programmer, I know how much work has gone into what you have.

Hi All

As a Newbie to WEB programming and learning HTML, CSS - I understand the effort involved.

People should lead by example - You have done a great job.

You are a madman Boomer, I started this process and quickly gave up when I realized just how much work was involved. Nicely done!!

Just to note, I've been working on it since 4.0.2 off and on. I can't count how many hours I put into it, hopefully creating a good starting point skin for other developers and designers.

Here's a site I'm currently working on that is using a custom version of it:

What I've done with my XHTML cart, is just remove ALL formatting, and create a few extra tpl files to deal with the new formatting. It is a lot less work than what you have, but it also isn't something I can turn around and sell right out of the box.

Some tpl files look like they were created by FP 98 lol.

So will designers be selling versions of this soon?

Also, for a someone with, say, Dreamweaver (with the smart filter) would be it too complex to make it rounded? Does CSS lock you into a squared look?

I looooove the speed, but I need a little more rounded elegance than the default. I like the "natural" look from 7dana, but even something like the genpi.com look would be great.

- Doesn't appear to be for resale, so I doubt they will be selling a version of that script. If they did, it would be fairly easy to see.

- Not sure what you are saying, but CSS doesn't "lock" you into a squared look. http://www.google.com/search?hs=2sq&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=css+ro...rs&btnG=Search

Up above, B00MER says:
"Good starting point for developers and designers".

It kinda looked to me like they'd pay Cart-Lab a certain fee (royalty? base code fee?), and tack on their own.

As if you'd see, I dunno, $180 versions of this pre-stylized that someone else worked on.

It would, indeed, be a very nice base for a series of new templates. This thing is made of pure andrenaline.

I'm saying exactly what your search appears to be responding to. Looks like you hit on the nail on the head! :)

As it stands, it's all based on hard 90 degrees angles, and I'm asking if an X-Cart idiot (i.e., someone with Dreamweaver) can curve it out. Curvy like 7dana.com's natural design , or genpi.com.

It looks like the examples from Google, don't get curvalicious with CSS itself. They're adding little images, and using some pretty tough code to do it. (tough for a newbie to integrate into a template full of smarty, that is) I'm not even sure this is what b00mer intended - it almost looked like he wanted to get away from images, and go with CSS code entirely for speed, but I guess CSS doesn't have vectors builtin.

It sort of looks like CSS simplifies some stuff for us noncoders, but makes other things more difficult.

I'd say a precurved version of this template could go for $30 more, and I'd happily pay it, so I could just replace the curve images and fiddle with the CSS color and font codes for a new look.
