Is there a visually basic but eye pleasing Drupal theme out there yet?

I've been Drupaling since v6, now running multiple D10 and D11 sites and i'm still waiting for a visually pleasing yet basic looking Drupal theme I can do the absolute minimum on to just get a site going.

Worked on Omega, Bootstrap, Zen and many others over the years they all start as a barebones site but still need a lot doing to really get looking good.

I've just spent another few hours looking through all the theme options for D11 as I haven't looked in a year and nothing is popping up still.

There has to be something I can literally just change the font styles used and have a super minimal look and feel and I can just work on the features and content of the site.

Built LSafe with AI: Auto-backup tool for Lando users

Fellow Drupal developers using Lando!

Built LSafe with AI assistance to automate database backups in Lando workflows. Less about "rebuild destroys data" (it usually doesn't) and more about general backup safety.

What LSafe does:

- Auto-backup before lando destroy (actually destructive)

- Safety net for database imports/exports

- Backup before lando poweroff and lando restart

- Protection against typing the wrong command

- Automated backup age monitoring and cleanup

Built after our MySQL corruption incident - wanted better backup workflows overall. There are different approaches (Vortex has a cool countdown feature), this is the "backup first" approach.

For Lando users who want:

- Automated safety for truly destructive operations

- Easy lsafe restore for emergencies

- Zero-config backup management

- "Better safe than sorry" development workflow

One-line install:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Apotheosis-Tech/lsafe/main/install.sh | bash

Usage: lsafe destroy instead of lando destroy for safe operations.

Being transparent: This is human vision + AI implementation. Turned out way better than I could've built solo.

Thoughts on backup automation in development workflows?

Drupal overflow help

My Drupal agency has recently been shifting to more Agentic focused work. We have some legacy Drupal clients that need assistance from time to time and we are looking for someone to help with it. We don’t have a high budget for this sort of work. This is not a get rich gig. More of a I have some extra spending cash this week sort of gig.

Our clients are all on D10 and have small changes to their sites periodically. Nothing complex, yet. This could lead to more work as things progress with AI.

Drupal Learning Roadmap

I want to learn theming, structure and how Drupal works in general.
I know the basics and some intermediate concepts.

I fail to understand twig and how to make good design with it.
fail to understand how Drupal interacts with regions and how to customize them to my needs.

I tried distributions but I find them frustrating.
Backend part makes perfect sense and I fell comfortable with it.

I am open to learn more about drupal theming and frontend development.
I thank in advance to the suggestion.

Is there a module to make Drupal 11 dropdown menus more compact?

Is there a module to make Drupal 11 dropdown menus more compact?

I am trying to adjust to Drupal 11 after having only experience with Drupal 7. I had not attempted to use any version earlier than 11. One characteristic of D11 I find annoying is how spaced-out the admin dropdown menus are. (Tried to add sshots to demonstrate this, but don't see how to do that here.)

I also disliked the lack of organization in the modules list, but have already improved that with the Module Filter module, which was being used in D7.

Similar spacing issues exist throughout the admin menus, on the pages themselves as well as dropdowns. The result is a lot more scrolling that could be avoided with more compact organization. Is there a module for making the dropdowns and settings pages more compact?

I also wish that all settings pages requiring a Save step would have the Save button near the top as well as at the bottom. It's annoying to need to scroll way down if the change made was not far down on the page.

Why is image content displaying on front page when not promoted to it?

✇Drupal - Open Source Content Platform | #Celebr8D8
By: /u/Naive_Long_5224
14 August 2025 at 22:37

I just started (trying to) do a D11 site. Previously only worked in D7. I need a cycling slideshow of photos on the front page. I’ve been trying to use the VVJS (views vanilla javascript slideshow) module. I created a content type for it and generated 1-image-each items to be displayed by the slideshow. It works. BUT… Also displayed on front page, below the slideshow, are all the content items, one after another, in a column.

I thought it was something about the view settings – but when the view is disabled, all those images (17 of them) continue to display. They are NOT ‘promoted to front page.’ There are no blocks active at all on the page, when the view is disabled or removed. (I need to get this key feature working before I build anything else on the front page.)

So… Why are they displaying at all, and how might this be fixed? Any explanations or suggestions?
