Forgive me if this is a redundant question. I have searched high and low but been unable to find answers.

I have a d7 test site and I see that Stark is the new built-in starter theme. However I have been unable to find information on how it is intended to be used. I have had trouble making future-compatible themes in the past and I want to get off on the right foot with d7. If there is relevant documentation I have overlooked please point me to it.

Thank you!

Stark shows you what Drupal outputs by default. Stark isn't really a starting point... though if you created a new "blank" theme in Drupal, this is what would be output. The process of developing a theme from scratch, then, is a process of overriding the defaults: Default CSS, default markup, etc.

If you're having trouble with future-compatible themes, I'd recommend the "base themes" like Zen and Omega to work with.
http://drupal.org/project/omega
http://drupal.org/project/zen

Those are great starting points because they take into consideration many things people forget to theme.

Have you tried them yet?
