MODULE SUPPORT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This theme can support virtualy any module.


  
THEME MODIFICATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
If you feel like giving the theme a look of your own, I recommend to play
with /_custom/custom-style.css; please read the comments in this file.



SIDEBARS DIMMENSIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The maximum with available for sidebars is as follow:

                                         | left | right | both
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Variable asyimmetrical sidebars (wide)   | 250  |  300  | 160-234
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed asyimmetrical sidebars (wide)      | 160  |  234  | 160-234
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Variable asyimmetrical sidebars (narrow) | 230  |  280  | 140-214
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed asyimmetrical sidebars (narrow)    | 140  |  214  | 140-214
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Equal width sidebars (narrow)            | 155  |  155  | 155-155
-----------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Do not exceed the available width (especially with images) or IE6 will 
not behave so the sidebars may drop. 



USING THE SuckerFish DROP-DOWN MENU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The menu can either be a two-level static menu or a suckerfish drop-down menu.

Out of the box the theme will show the primary and secondary menu. If you select 
(/admin/build/menu/settings) the same menu as primary links then secondary 
links will display the appropriate second level of your navigation hierarchy.

To activate the drop-down menu put the Main menu block in the "Drop Down menu" 
region and set the correct levels to "expanded" (the parent item). 
NOTE: Go to /admin/build/menu and expand all parents in your primary menu.



INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

1) Place the zeropoint directory into your themes directory (sites/all/themes/zeropoint).

2) Enable the 0 Point theme (/admin/appearance).

3) You can configure settings for the 0 Point theme at /admin/appearance/settings/zeropoint. 

If you place the theme in a location other than /sites/all/themes/zeropoint you should 
modify the path in /zeropoint/css/iepngfix.htc and /zeropoint/css/ie.6, accordingly.



UPGRADING to a new version of 0 Point
-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

1) If possible, log on as administrator user. 

2) Put the site in "Off-line" mode.

3) Place the zeropoint directory into your themes directory (sites/all/themes/zeropoint).
   In case you have done customization to 0 Point theme, remember to overwrite theme
   custom-style.css with your custom-style.css file.

4) Clear the Drupal cache option and put the site in "On-line" mode. It is always a good 
   idea to refresh the browser's cache (CTRL+F5).

5) Check the settings for the 0 Point theme at /admin/appearance/settings/zeropoint. 

NOTE: In some very rare cases, if after upgrading the theme can not be configured you should 
delete all the zeropoint records in the data base.
