Actually that is something we have a struggle with and could do with some help on – would you be able to experiment…?

Yes Sure

yes. when there was a fixed layout and you couldnt really move elements around… now with themes, the different layouts that are possible are endless… doesnt mean they cannot be  RTL, just we cannot force it with a simple option… it really has to be done at the wp theme level, just like with wp themes…

As Andy mentions, we have been wanting to try to create an RTL theme we could offer, but need help.  Thanks for offering!  will let Andy pick it back up with you…

I don’t have a solution temporary or otherwise at the moment. I have not yet looked at this. But I would start with setting the direction property on the various and appropriate items in the SP theme’s reset.css file. That would be the big block of reset CS at the start if the file. Add:

direction: rtl;

see what effect that has.

tried what?  please share the code… show us on which elements you added:

direction: RTL;

if will need to be on quite a few… additionally, in the sp theme template files, a lot of the elements are floated left… you may want to float them right…

the first one is an error and will kill css…  you have to put the

direction: rtl;

inside of a style markup…  ie

.someclass {
 direction:rtl;
}

and then you have to see how the rest of the css affects it too… and the one you did put it inside, is the default reset css… most of the css styling that follows will re define the one you put it in…
