Video demo of new Drupal Gardens theme builder features
Posted on Thu, Dec 10, 2009 by Linea Rowe
Some of you may have seen the first Gardens video posted a couple of months ago that shows a pre-alpha version of Drupal Gardens. This new demo video shows you some of the new features we've added to give you more control over the design of your site theme. We want you to be able to design a site with a home page that looks different from interior pages. It's fine for a blog site to have the same layout on all pages, but other kinds of sites need a home page that looks different. The demo also shows the fine-grained point and click controls you have in theme creation - how you can change the style of an element site-wide or very specifically.
Take a look and let us know what you think. More videos to come. Thanks.

We'll make sure our Designer knows that you're interested. btw, I added a link to the Advanced tab screenshot.
The target styling feature
The target styling feature is awesome. I am a fan of the "All blocks" text when describing a CSS style that repeats. Good job!
Thanks Chris. The target
Thanks Chris. The target styling feature was a tough one to implement from both the UI and technical standpoint, but we kept pushing to get it right since people are going to need it.

What Chris said. :) I can't wait to try this out... and then poke through the CSS it creates. Will that be possible?
