We are now developing a website with drupal for a client. As the website is quite complex and we need handle many CSS files for modules and themes. Today I suddenly found that there are some CSS statements cannot work at IE. I have spent some time on that and finally we found IE cannot load some CSS files we add at the last in .info files. I guess IE has the limitation on the numbe rof CSS files load. But I don't believe in it because this is a tooooooooooo stupid reason....

After I had found same conclusion from others. I admit that I have put too many hopeness on IE.

Drupal is driven by templates file. Basically, files ended in *.tpl.php are the template files.

• page.tpl.php
• node.tpl.php
• block.tpl.php

page.tpl.php controls most of the parts. For example, which CSS files are being called. It also determines what items to display (like your mission/ titles/ primary link menu bar)

node.tpl.php controls how the content should be displayed. For example, you don't want to add the comment link for the nodes, you may set it here.

We want to make our own themes with designated background, theme color and logos. To add a theme, what we need to do is to create a package for this theme. Copy the existing theme from drupal/modules to drupal/sites/all/themes/

The folder containing the theme should match the name for the .info file inside the package. Modify the first line of the info file for NAME field to whatever human-readable name you call it.

After that, you'll see the new theme in Home/Administer/Site building/Themes/.
