Elixir Theme for BE.NET

Michael Whalen has graciously allowed me to port his Elixir theme to BlogEngine.NET. This previously WordPress only theme is now available for your BlogEngine.NET enjoyment.

Michael originally released the theme in 5 different colours. I've gone a little bit further and added the ability to dynamically change the colour. So you now have 7 colours to choose from, or you can set it to automatically change colour every day. One for every day of the week! I've also added the ability to dynamically swap between the left and right layout.

To install the theme you simply extract the contents of the zip file into the BlogEngine.NET Themes folder. Then select Elixir as your theme from the settings page.

Click here to preview the theme.

Let me know in the comments how the theme pans out for you.

Nice Theme Russell!  I like the one you are using more, but I had considered converting elixir for myself at one point.

Brad, I've noticed on your blog that you're running BE.NET 1.4. It may very well be related to that. I would suggest upgrading to 1.5 and try again.

If that's too much effort, you should be able to modify the theme to work on 1.4 by comparing the differences between the standard theme's code and this one.
