Sarven Capadisli 030477b02a Separation of themes (i.e., layout, typography) and skins (i.e., background
images, colours).

A theme can have multiple skins.

Majority of the changes in this commit are due to restructuring the
path/files for themes and skins.

Both theme and skin will be set to 'default' if not set in
config.php.

This commit also allows each instance of this software to create
its own theme without having to override any style from the default
distribution.

Added Cloudy theme.

Location of key paths and files under theme/:

./base/css/
./base/css/display.css
./base/images/

./default/css/
./default/css/display.css
./default/images/

./base/display.css contains layout, typography rules:
Only alter this file if you want to change the layout of the site. Please note that, any updates to this in future laconica releases may not be compatible with your version.

./default/css/display.css contains only the background images and colour rules:
This file is a good basis for creating your own theme.


1. Copy over the default theme to start off (replace 'mytheme'):
cp -r ./default ./mytheme

2. Edit your mytheme stylesheet:
nano ./mytheme/css/display.css

3. Search and replace a colour or a path to the background image of your choice.

4. Set /config.php to load 'mytheme':
$config['site']['theme'] = 'mytheme';
