New default theme and HTML5 markup

As some of you may have noticed, the Fork repository on Github has been buzzing with activity lately. We are currently working hard on implementing new features, building new modules and fixing bugs. We have also developed a versatile new default theme to accompany these changes: Triton (short for King Triton).

Triton is a grid based HTML5 theme that's beautiful, accessible, easy to use and fast. We also decided to rewrite all front-end markup to HTML5 and rewrite all forms to support the Fork forms library. We'll be writing a blogpost on using this library shortly.

We are currently thinking about adding theme options to content blocks and working on easy theme switches. This will allow us to release some of the great free themes we have lined up to release to the community.

Here's a screenshot of the new King Triton theme:

Hi Walter,

1/ Download & install Fork CMS

2/ Download eco theme zip file (http://www.fork-cms.com/extensions/detail/eco)

3/ Surf to your backend (http://<your-domain>/private) and login

4/ Go to Settings > Themes & click the "upload theme" button (right top)

5/ Select the eco theme zip-file & click "install"

6/ The theme is now installed; now click on the theme & select "save" to apply it to your site

Done!

Hi - The theme install is not working.

after i go to "Settings > Themes & click the "upload theme" button (right top)"

all i see is :

Extensions: upload theme:

and no listing of any files to upload/install.

Where does the Theme install script expect the file to be? - on my desktop? on the server?
