Wicked DHTML Roller themes spotted in the wild

I spotted some cool DHTML-enhanced themes on FreeRoller today: My own confusion and A Corporate Eejit. Nice work gents - maybe we should add these suckers to the stock list of themes. These themes are a great example of how customizable Roller is and how it's just HTML, so pretty much anything is possible (that is possible on a web page). I'd be willing to bet you could even use Flash and use the RSS Feed for your XML input.

I'm thinking about adding a small DHTML enhancement to Roller. Basically, I'd like to show users a small picture of the theme (using these pictures) when signing up. Let me know if you think this is worth the effort and if so, I'll create a JIRA issue (uh oh, looks like we lost our bug database!).

Hey Matt, add that dynamic calendar popup from My Own Confusion to your sunset theme. That would be an excellent way to give back the navigation amongst days.

Are you looking for something like <a href="?" name="tempAnchor" id="tempAnchor" onclick="cal.showCalendar(this.id); return false">this badboy? I got it from Matt Kruse's Calendar Popup. My modifications include changing the CSS to be more standards-compliant (all lowercase selectors) and adding a table.cal to set the background to white. I might have to add a new badge for this calendar tonight. Thanks for the idea!

Hmmm, it doesn't work in comments in Firebird and needs some more cleanup - I'll work on it...

Testing of this calendar continues on http://raibledesigns.com/page/test.

Matt, that was the next thing I was looking into: a flash client using the RSS feed. The issue I see is how do you get to the bookmarks/referrers etc? They are not part of the feed. Also, my theme can be downloaded at http://www.freeroller.net/page/fx/20030624#download_for_olive_theme (stored as a gif, as zip's are not allowed:) ... and as it is on freeroller (like free), there are no copyrights, no licenses, no fees :)

Sweet, I got this slick calendar working (solution here). I'll be adding this as a part of this theme. Thanks again to Dan for the inspiration.

You bet Matt, that is going to be incredible! I am in the thick of a Struts application right now, which I am hoping to finish before the end of next week, but when I do I will get my blog going and help inpire you even more with ideas. I think that my website could be the start of another cool minimalistic roller theme. It needs a serious upgrade though and now will be the time!
