Summary

NearDawn2 is a drop-in template for TNG releases 13 and later that incorporates streamlined CSS, contemporary web style, and updated features that can be enabled and disabled via template settings. This template is a 'cleanroom' re-implementation of NearDawn, using much of the original color palette but developed with modification in mind.

Unlike its predecessor, NearDawn2 does not depend on a support Mod for any features. However, two support mods, eGenea Support and Template Manager are used for updating TNG language files and for loading the TNG database with template settings. Instructions are provided in the installation section.

NearDawn2 is part of the eGenea Templates package, a set of—currently 4...soon to be 6—templates that all utilize the same underlying framework, have the same features, and share the same design principles.

The designer's own genealogy site, Lindell-Herndon Genealogy, currently shows the TNG 14 compatible release of NearDawn2 (sometimes NearDark2, DayLight, or NightLight), depending on my mood).
