Mobile and Print-Friendly themes

[rhecht]

I would very much like there to be an option for a mobile-friendly and print-friendly theme on a website. More people are now checking their websites on their smartphones than desktop computers and I feel that this would be a nice touch. I am requesting that this plugin be created.

Hartija is ready to use framework. Just add:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" type="text/css" href="print.css" />

to your theme where print.css is Hartija stylesheet, to your page. The only you have to do is editing elements that should be hidden for print at the bottom. Nothing more is required.

interesting. Could you give more details on steps.
I have copied Hartija's print.css in either existing template or created a new template "print" with print.css, not sure though what is the best way to trigger the theme change?

Basically a print-link with a tarket_blank to open in print.css ?

No you just add the stlyesheet just like a normal stylesheet, see that media="print" as opposed to screen.
The browser knows what to do automatically when you print something.

Of course - will look into it. Should work, sound logical.
