Important! The Block Theme Module is not currently available for Drupal version 6. Therefore, the Block Theme Templates are not currently included in Tapestry for Drupal 6.

The Block Theme Module allows Tapestry to provide site administrators with the ability to assign a CustomTheme to each block on your site. Assigning a Custom Theme to one of your blocks will change the appearance of that Block. Tapestry provides many different custom block theme templates that you can use to change the apperance of the blocks on your site.

To get an idea of the custom block themes that are available in Tapestry, take a look at the Block Themes Page. This page shows a sample block for each of the Custom Themes that are available. Every one of Tapestry's 20 color styles have a unique assortment of custom block theme templates that can be used on your site.

Before you can use Tapestry's custom block themes, you will need to configure the Block Theme Module. These instructions assume that you have already installed and enabled the Block Theme Module as described in this tutorial. It further assumes that you have successfully configured the Block Theme Module as described in this tutorial.

Once you have correctly installed and configured the Block Theme module, you will be able to assign a custom block theme to any block on your site. Point your browser to /yoursite/admin/build/block and click the configure link next to the block you want to modify.

On this page, you will see a drop-down box named Custom Theme. Select a custom block theme from the list and then click the save block button.

Using these same steps, you can assign a custom block theme to any or every block of your site. Use this feature to add variety, color, and interest to your site's pages.

Tapestry also includes a couple of special purpose utility block themes:

The No Margins block theme eliminates the padding and margins that Tapestry normally applies to blocks. This might be used, for example, to create a block containing an image that extends the full width of the page.

The Rollover1 and Rollover2 block themes will produce a rollover effect for blocks that contain unordered lists of links (which is something that Drupal modules frequently generate.)
