I believe in Drupal - but it needs more themes!!!
When I search around internet I have found something very interesting:
The popularity of a CMS is strongly connected with number of developed, often free, templates or themes.
I believe in Drupal, as CMS, since it is really roubust and stable CMS.
Only I miss is lack of really good themes, or to say, a huge numbers of themes.
Look at Joomla or WP. They are really up going fast, only because of hundreds of templates.
Is there any plan to develop more (to say) "fancy" themes?
I recommend to develop 3-4 new templates which will be a break in to CMS popularity.
I used for a long time Joomla, but getting tired. Drupal looks more robust, and I have choosen to move here.
As not designer, personally I need some more easy way to make own theme (let us say, through dreamweaver view), and at all, more and more contemporary, fancy, beautiful free themes.
I think that people at Drupal.org should give to themes a bit higher priority right now, when Drupal is more easy, more stable and more robust.
Best!!
I agree. 'Gagarin' seems
I agree. 'Gagarin' seems really nice.
Will someone please perfect it?
For Primary links, sub-links don't appear for me.
When I use the WYSIWYG editor, the background image appears in the text box.
Any other problems with it?

The best person to perfect it at this stage is the user who is having problems with it. THe Original Developer could be busy, but patches can be supplied through the issue query. I don't use Tinymce to be able to figure out how you would need to deal with the one problem you state.
Have you compared the theme in question with a default theme that correctly uses sub links ? to see if you can find out what the problem may be ? This is the best way to work through a themeing problem. Comparison goes a long way.

You can start
I guess you can start by sponsoring custom theme development.......how about that?

okay, i will
I don't have the skills or desire to resolve technical CSS/templating issues, so I will put $100 into the community, adding to my $50 general Drupal contribution, towards the development of this theme. Someone step up here and say they'll do it, others back off, then as soon as one additional person recognizes the work as worthy of $100, I'll send the payment. Please start by addressing the issues I've identified in the issues list. I will make garmond aware of this immediately via email. If a few others will do the same, we might have enough funds to make this a rock solid theme.
It's a great-looking theme
It's a great-looking theme but it does have a few structural problems -- its right sidebar doesn't seem to work, for example.
Looks like someone's posted some fixes already here: http://drupal.org/node/175758

I believe Drupal is already in the top 2 as far as PHP based CMS's are concerned and the TOP depending on what cirlces you revolve in. That being said there are already close to 100 themes in the downloads area. Beyond that, it's not difficult to covert an a theme from oswd.org if there was an itch that needed to be scratched.
This ins't a Drupal issue, This is a dreamweaver issue. Drupal does not use standard HTML and Dreamweaver does not render in view, phptemplate which is drupal themeing engine.

The process to contribute a theme is completely open. All it takes is for people like you to contribute. That's it. We do not have closed development teams, just random people who contribute back to the community. Request a CVS account. Upload to CVS, create a project, release.
You too are at drupal.org.

There's no reason that you
There's no reason that you can't use Dreamweaver to create a theme.... Personally, that's the way I do it. Dreamweaver has it's advantages, but everyone has their own method...
Here's what I do:
You only need to do the design-time setup once, and then you can just keep pasting in the compiled page's source code, and you can start theming away... Then just upload your theme's style.css file, and refresh your Drupal site page... Voila, it works fine and it was done in Dreamweaver. I try to make sure I only make changes in the theme's style.css file, otherwise, it's causes problems at upgrade time.
