Clean theme, a free css / xhtml compliant light-weight, professional theme
filed under: sNews CMS / Themes & Templates
This is my 3rd theme to be made specifically for sNews (though I am releasing it as a static vanilla HTML theme as well) thus far, and it is probably my personal favorite. This template is very lightweight & minimalist, there are only 4 images used throughout, and I have lightened up the stylesheet quite a bit from my typical themes, yet I think the result is quite nice, I'm calling it simply "clean" because that's what I feel best represents it. I have tested it & it is working with the following browsers (IE 5.5 & 6 tested with IE Tester, may not be 100%) on Vista;
- Internet Explorer: 5.5, 6, 7 & 8 RC1
- Firefox: 2 & 3
- Safari 3
- Opera 9
You can view the live demo at clean.mdj.us (offline until further notice). Since the admin is not accessible on the demo, here are couple of admin area screen shots in Safari;

Please don't hesitate to test it out and let me know what you think, if I missed anything, etc. Thanks!
For people wanting to use this theme without sNews, I will be releasing this theme as a vanilla HTML theme as some point in the near future as well.

Thanks a lot, great :)))
I prefer minimalistic themes when I build websites, this is one that I can use (with some small changes).
I learn a lot from your site
PS:
Nice preview under the comments field :)

No problem, feel free to change it up all you want to make it yours.
If you like jquery, you can add the live comment preview too; :P

Hi mkur,
Try setting the overflow property in your stylesheet.
.comment {overflow: auto}
