According to a request of a new theme for Sahana by Tim McNamara, me and Dilantha designed a new theme. You can visit demo version of our theme at http://demo.respere.com/dnn/.

The main objective of the this theme is to provide maximum space for the content of the modules. In default Sahana theme the menu items acquire 200px from the entire content space. Because of that the space that can be used to display module content will be reduced. So if we can hide the menu items when we are not using them, we can have extra 200px for the content area.

As Tim suggested we removed the menu divs from the current location and placed the in the top of the site. Using Javascript we make those divs appear and disappear by mouse events. When the mouse moves over or clicks on the “Sections” heading, the Module Menu will be shown. The sub menu item has a special feature. That is it can be pinned or unpinned according to the users choice. If the user feels like he/she wants to use the sub menus frequently, he/she can “Pin” the sub menu.

We are expecting comments on our new theme, so we can develop this theme to fulfil everyones needs.
