1. True sub-theme support. Out of the box, Drupal 5 only allows sub-themes to have their own CSS stylesheets.
   1. Zen sub-themes can have their own template.php file.
   2. Zen sub-themes can have their own .tpl.php template files.
2. Powerful body classes.
   1. front or not-front classes
   2. logged-in or not-logged-in classes
   3. node-type-CONTENT_TYPE class: for example, node-type-page, node-type-story and node-type-forum
   4. two-sidebars, one-sidebar sidebar-left, one-sidebar sidebar-right, or no-sidebars classes
   5. page-FULL-URL class
   6. section-FIRST-DIRECTORY class
   7. section-node-add, section-node-edit, or section-node-delete classes for node add, edit, and delete pages
3. Useful template variables. $is_admin and $logged_in for page.tpl.php.
4. Block editing links. Users with permission to edit blocks will see, when hovering over any block, links to edit that block. This is much more intuitive than first going to admin/build/blocks.
5. Beautiful tabs with alpha-transparent edges. Drupal 5’s default tab styling is a bit underwhelming. Zen also provides the Photoshop PSD file so you easily edit the PNGs used by the tabs.
6. Bold “Unpublished” warning. Out of the box, Drupal 5 will only warn users that a node is unpublished by changing the node’s background to pink. Zen places the word “UNPUBLISHED” into the background of the node. (The Unpublished text is also fully translatable for i18n compatibility.)
7. Complete Drupal 5 CSS reference guide. Drupal 5’s CSS is very modular (a good thing!), but it makes trying to find a specific style in one of its 17 CSS files difficult. Zen collects all of Drupal’s CSS styles into one reference file.
8. Wireframes. Extremely basic wireframe support is included.
