Olivero is the default theme for Drupal 10. It is a flexible, colorable theme
|
2023-03-31 15:35:03 +00:00
|
|
|
with a responsive and mobile-first layout, supporting 13 regions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Olivero theme is named after Rachel Olivero, a member of our community who
|
|
|
|
|
died in 2019.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This theme is not intended to be used as a base theme.

## About Rachel Olivero
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This theme was created in memory of Rachel Olivero. Rachel engaged with the
|
|
|
|
|
communities that she was involved in to make them more inclusive. As a techie
|
|
|
|
|
who was also a blind, transgender lesbian, she understood the importance of
|
|
|
|
|
greater diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find a more detailed celebration of [Rachel's life on Drupal.org](
|
|
|
|
|
https://www.drupal.org/forum/general/community-spotlight/2019-02-22/remembering-rachel-olivero),
|
|
|
|
|
and from the [National Federation of the Blind (NFB)](
|
|
|
|
|
https://nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/bm/bm19/bm1904/bm190405.htm) where she
|
|
|
|
|
led many of their IT projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When looking for inspiration for a new default theme for Drupal, the community
|
|
|
|
|
was inspired by Rachel's example. The front-end developers worked hard with the
|
|
|
|
|
Drupal Accessibility Team, [as well as with the NFB](
|
|
|
|
|
https://nfb.org/about-us/press-room/new-drupal-theme-honors-rachel-olivero) to
|
|
|
|
|
make this theme an example. We wanted to build an attractive, modern, and very
|
|
|
|
|
accessible theme that would have made Rachel proud.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We hope you find inspiration in this theme and its origin story to stretch
|
|
|
|
|
yourself to find ways to make your work more accessible to everyone. We also ask
|
|
|
|
|
that you [engage with the Drupal community](
|
|
|
|
|
https://www.drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/drupal), should you find ways to
|
|
|
|
|
make it a better user experience for everyone. Yes, we want to meet the
|
|
|
|
|
latest [WCAG recommendations](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/),
|
|
|
|
|
but know that this isn't the ceiling to reach too, but rather the floor to build
|
|
|
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drupal has over 20 years of evolving with the internet, and know that this is a
|
|
|
|
|
journey, where we can all strive to be better today than we were yesterday.
