This is providing unique PHP-Fusion themes since June 2004, probably being the first site to do so.
My mission is to use more advanced techniques and try out new styles with every new theme.

 Smoothblue was released in January 2005. Now, nearly two years later, I want to introduce to you the refreshed Version named SmoothBlue 07.
The Graphics were just slightly changed to even more blue :) and a fresher overall look. More significant Changes are the complete switch to divs as layout elements instead of tables. This is not only recommended for HTML, but it also saves a lot of Code. The Theme was also strongly cleaned up and better structured, redundant code was removed. Just have a look at theme.php to see the effect. Last but not Least, the Button Set was replaced by a new one, based on Silvestre Herrera's Nouvo Icons.

Hi!
The Quickedit function in all nature Themes plus the Grunge2 Theme works with php-fusion 6.01.x fine, now. Thanks for digga for reporting this.
At a stroke, I also added a Quickedit function for articles to these Themes and fixed some display issues occuring in Internet Explorer.

Hi!
Wow. That really did take some time. I tell you one thing: Never try to run into Problems with German Hosts. They provide good and fast support but nothing is for free. And if you want to get rid of them, you need good nerves and lots of time. (read more for the whole story)
Nevermind, my site and the downloads are up again. I hope I also can transfer my other domain soon in order to fix all that links on other sites and in other forums.
After the weekend, everything should be okay again :)
Thanks for your patience, continous interest and encouragement
Special thanks to uctxs, Trix, Homy, SuperMarkus, Quartzkyte, KEFF, helmuth and all the others that not dismissed me
best wishes

It has been nearly exact one year since the two Grunge Themes were released. Apart from their trendy full graphic look they featured a technique that was hardly used anywhere before: Grunge Concept Theme had the ability to render captions as graphics and thus made an advanced font based look possible. Over the past year these Themes spread over hundreds of php-fusion sites and the caption rendering idea was inherited by other Designers.
Today you will see a rebirth of the Grunge Theme. The weak points, such as the fixed width and some issues with the rendering script, have been ironed out. The Theme is now scalable and the render uses less resources and is more compatible. Furthermore the Grunge Theme features all the Nature Theme Options plus the option that toggles the caption renderer.
The features in short:
-Rendered Panel, Article and News Captions
-All the Nature Theme Features
-Banner and Button PSD Files
-Grunge Style look
-W3C Compatibility as always

Nature is a wonder and my new Nature themes are, too. There has never been a Theme so diverse and variable before.... Ok, let us put aside exaggerations and megaloania. Let us take a look at the facts.
The features:
All of my 10 Nature Themes feature the 9 follwong settings:
I. Disable one side:
Did you ever want to have a 2 column look in a certain theme and wondered how to archive this without having all the other themes also set two 2 columns? No problem with the Nature Themes. Just open up theme.php with an editor and change this line:
$disable_side = 0; //Disable a Panel column for 2 Column look? (1=left/2=right/0=no)
Reload your site and the Panels of the Side you chose is switched to the opposing Side for the time you use this Theme.
Attention: This is an experimental feature. I tested it repeatedly, but there might be strange effects if the script execution is aborted before the whole theme.php was parsed or if there is someone loading your site just in the same millisecond as you do. However, the worst case is that you need to manually switch the Panels to the right side again.
II. Set the topnaviagtion position.
Have you ever been annoyed by the horizontal Naviagtion line, because it wasn't of use for you or because you wanted to have it above instead of below the header? Just switch it off, switch it's postion with the Nature themes and this line:
$topnavi_position = 2; // Position of the horizontal navigation? (1=Above Header/2=below header/3=both/0=off)
III. Footer Naviagtion
Are you sometimes unnerved if you have to scroll all the way up on a long page to reach the navigations? Just enable the horizontal navigation to be shown above the footer, too. That's the line:
$footer_navigation = 1; //Enable the Horizontal Navigation to be shown in the footer, too? (1=yes/0=no)
IV. Disable Header
Is your site solely Information based? You might want to disable the logo then to provide more space for text on the screen. Instead of workarounds with blank 1x1px graphics, just open the theme.php and edit this line:
$show_header = 1; //Show the Header? (1=yes/0=no)
V. Disable Background
By default, there is a tileable background set in every Nature theme. If you don't need it, just disable it by setting this var to 1:
$disable_background =http://www.uctxs.com/spacer.gif 0; //Disable Background? (1=yes/0=no)
VI. Toggle Date
If your horizontal navigation is stuffed with links or if you just think that there is not much sense in displaying date and time as everybody has a watch and a little clock in the corner of the screen, you can disable the date in the horizontal navigation bar by setting
$show_date = 1; //Show date? (1=yes/0=no)
to 1.
VII. Use Default Banner?
Every Nature Theme has it's own Banner set, which is located as banner.jpg in the theme directory. You can just replace this file or, if you want to show your banner that you set in Main Settings, enable this setting:
$default_banner = 0; //Whether or not to use the Banner set in Main Settings (1=yes/0=no)
VIII. Show Version?
In newer php-fusion versions, the version number is no longer shown in he default themes for security reasons. By default, the Nature Themes do not show the version either. However, if you keep your php-fusion setup updated to the latest version and are proud of that, you can enable the version number in the footer with:
$show_version = 0; //Show your php-fusion version? (1=yes/0=no)
IX. Rollover Navigation?
Last but not least there is this option:
$advanced_navigation = 1; //Fancy Navigation? (1=yes/0=no)
What does it do? Did you ever want to have a cool Rollover Menu but didn't want to mod another file or install another Infusion (if there even is one)?
That's not a problem at all with the Nature themes. Just set the above var to 1 and after reloading your site, the default navigation panel is replaced by a neat css based rollover menu.
The Colors:
My Nature Themes all display a peace of Nature. There are currently cloud, grass, lava, moon, ocean, rape, rock, sunset, universe and wood included in the package. However, there are more to come and if you are fed up to the back teeth wit Nature: There will be quite a number of non Nature based styles based on the Nature Theme Layout. A renewed version of my Grunge Concept Theme is already ready.
Questions, you might want to ask now:
Q: I have all Nature Themes installed. Do I need to set all the settings for each of them?
A: No. Just copy the theme.php file of the Nature Theme you edited to the other theme folders, replacing the existing ones.
Q: Sounds cool, but where can I take a look at them?
A: Just select one of the Themes enumerated above from the theme switcher drop down list.
Q: Wow, I have to get one of those, but where?
A: Browse straight to my Download Section where you'll find a Package with all current Nature Themes.
Q: I want to modify the Banner, can I get the .psd file?
A: Unfortunately, my computer crashed due to a thunderstorm and some of the psd files were lost. I'll recreate these and provide all the psd files in one Package soon.

you can suggest other colors for future releases.
Download the package
I wrote a special theme switch code for these themes. I just tested it on my local testserver and on this site, so please refer to the error reports system if you find any flaws.
EDIT: Seems like the Theme Switch doesn't work with the older v6 versions.
I'll release a fixed versions for these versions soon.
Thanks
