Last night I released the first version of Cleanr, a Drupal administration theme that tries to make the interface more simple and clean. This theme was mostly created for site maintainers, usually clients that don't know much about Drupal but need to work with it everyday. The main goal is to improve Drupal administration UX the most I can. Here are some screenshots of the first version of the theme:
_Administer page with an error message_
_Collapsible fieldsets_
A lot of times you have to make the node/add page look just the way you want, and you usually start complaining that it's technically impossible with Drupal. There are a lot of techniques for this but I will be talking about one in particular which is creating your own little module that does the job.
Not really, it's simpler that it sounds and in this case it won't have more than 60 lines of code.
Our module will be called Apply, and it will basically show a form so users can apply for something. It will create a node based on a custom node type we will create.
This past monday I met a couple of Drupal developers and people who are actually interested in learning Drupal. The group was a nice mix of people sharing experiences and others trying to keep up and learn the most they can. It felt great, seeing what people expect from Drupal and what people have done with it, or what do they use Drupal for, but they all had one thing in common, it's always hard to find good modules or the one that you really need.
In Drupal you can take the same task in many different ways, the problem is when you get to the point where you realize that you should have chosen the other one. And here's an example.
So, this is my approach on reviewing some Drupal modules to let users know what kind of things you can do with them.
Let's start:
Today I was working on a new site when I realized that the top navigation had descriptions under the links. I asked myself for a few seconds, how can I do that on Drupal? If you don't know what I'm talking about, have a look at this screenshot of another site. 
I'm doing this on a theme, so no need for a module here. What I need to do here is override (the "Drupal way") the theme_links function and that's very easy on a theme, we just need to go to /includes/theme.inc and copy the theme_links() function. Then we can just paste it on our template.php file but we change the function name from theme_links to MYTHEMENAME_links.
