A flexible theme derived from the BASIS theme that allows a site editor or manager to make maximum color/visual customizations through the user interface.
The latest release is 1.x-2.x, which completely removes the dependency on the BASIS theme. This is a major release and is not backwards compatible. Please, exercise caution if upgrading from the 1.x-1.x branch.
We will continue to support Version 1.x-1.x was a sub-theme of Basis, but no new features will be added to that version.
We think that there is demand for this kind of theme in the contrib space and welcome both feature and design suggestions. Let's make this a community project.
Tatsu currently includes Bootstrap css and js files. Version 1.x-2.x also includes a UI for supplemental CSS changes, based on the Color module.
We found the name Tatsu on a list of good names for Dragons and later
learned that it is also the name of a roller coaster in California, USA.
