The PostNuke web portal system uses "themes" to provide options for layout and presentation of the site's content. The jEdit Community site now has the "Slate" theme as an alternative to the default "PostNuke" and "ExtraLite" themes. Rendered largely in shades of dark and darker blue, the Slate theme is based on the PostNuke theme of the same name created by PixelMayhem (formerly known as Somara), which has kindly released its creation for public use.

If you are a registered member of jEdit Community, you can specify the Slate theme and other display options in the Your Account section of the site.

We will probably adapt one or two more PostNuke themes for use by the site, just to be gratuitously arty. If you have a favorite from other sites, or - better yet - if you would like to hack a theme for use on the site, let us know.
