      Although not very modified at all... This is the site of the unified supporters in Norway (counting 40 000, small country eh) in the battle against games being played on Mondays and other weekdays. As the supporters have to leave work for 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) for the long away matches, the rich companies on the top of the pyramid counts their income from the tv channels. Recently they moved the Saturday game to Friday to get better tv ratings and as a direct result more money, and even stated to the press that the supporters wanted it this way. They can also move games with just 3 weeks warning, making train/plane tickets quite expensive and – for some – useless if pre-ordered before a game is moved.

    • I agree very nice site, but it doesn't do much to portray the idea of the site nor the organization behind it. Very dark and post-nuclear attack look. That might be what they are looking for, but when I first visit the site it takes work visually and clicking wise to find out what it's all about.

      You have a capping issue with the moving CSS image on the header. You can see where it is cut off but there is still white spacing to the top...about 30 or so pixels.

      Hope that helps

    • Yeah, thanks. The logo is a bit taller than the stock one and I haven't had the time to photoshop that dust cloud yet.

      An idea was to make the template change into a flowerish and sunny template in the weekends and back to the apocalypse in the weekdays, but as far as my skills go that would require me to login every friday and monday to change manually..

    • Now that WOULD be cool and it would justify the apocalyptic look. I like your forward way of thinking.

      Thinking off hand about this, I'd say the best way would be to do a JavaScript (MooTools most likely) selection of CSS (or in RT's methods CSS directories like style1, style2, etc.) files that would determine the look based upon the day according to either the server's date/time or the client's.
       
var dSS = {
          names: ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"],
          number: new Date().getDay(),
          link: document.createElement('link')
}
 
dSS.link.rel = "stylesheet";
dSS.link.type = "text/css";
dSS.link.href = dSS.names[ dSS.number ] + ".css";
 
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild( dSS.link );
 

      This is just something quick and rudimentary, you could definitely devise something that is more like Weekday.css and Weekend.css so you do not need a CSS file for each day of the week.

      Also do not forget to set up a way for pleasant degrading:
       
<noscript>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="whatever.css">
</noscript>
 

      Also, I did not do any work considering the folder layout of styles by RocketTheme, again totally doable.

      Hope that helps you get on the right track. Definitely check out MooTools if you have not already, and even ask about solutions at their forums. They are good people and will definitely help you learn more about MooTools and JavaScript.

      Good luck

    • Nice site. You may want to add another image to Rokstories as you are getting a huge gap on the right side every time you move onto the next image. :)
