Hi, thanks for the write up. After creating massive PSD files for custom Magento store it look like we would save a lot of time and aggravation by creating PSD files that follow the existing Responsive layout as closely as possible. I just wish we had done that a year ago. Now we need to create PSDs for the Responsive design and Im looking for some dos and donts before spending hours on the new designs. A “do’s and don’t” list would be a great topic for the new Magento CE 1.9.

Thanks, Marc

Hi Joseph,

I’m not sure how advanced at front end dev you are, but the theme uses .scss files to compile the css http://sass-lang.com/guide, which dictate the colours and styles used. If that’s all too much you can make changes directly to the css/styles.css file replacing #2a92e5; (blue) with say #D43A3F (a red). It’s much better to go down the SASS route, as your changes will be lost if you ever compile the theme’s .scss files. You also lose all the great benefits of SASS.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi,
Thank you for great instruction of Magento 1.9

I have some questions.
If I want to change image at the bottom of header(menu) in responsive page, what should I do?
I mean how I can do for preparation of responsive page.

I’m using larger image there in browser page than in responsive page.
So if I see my homepage by smartphone, it will be displayed with get out of position a little bit because of larger image.

Please help me about that.
Thank you.

Thanks Michael, I’ve not used the GPMD responsive theme but see that it’s based on the much older base/default theme. I went on to test the rwd theme for the site http://www.lovethywall.com/ , adding a theme SASS file and importing a few useful Bootstrap mixins to better customise the homepage. There’s quite a bit of refining still to do but rwd has so far worked out very well.

Great overview of Magento 1.9.
We’re currently in the making of creating a responsive theme for our website. We’re using the GPMD template for this ( https://github.com/gpmd/magento-responsive-theme ), and I was wondering if it would be better to base the site on the new magento responsive theme instead?

Before we put too many hours into the GPMD – what’s your point of view on this?
