Themes allow you to change the look and feel of your Drupal site. You can use themes contributed by others or create your own to share with the community. Contributed themes are not part of any official release and may not have optimized code/functionality for your purposes. You can also create a sub-theme of an existing theme. A sub-theme inherits a parent theme's resources. Read more about Sub-theme structure and inheritance. You can also view a full index of themes listing only their titles.

Polpo Admin Theme
Polpo is a Drupal 6 admin theme created by Australian Drupal developers <PreviousNext> that aims to make Drupal administration tasks easier for large corporate and novice users alike.
Specifically designed for making administration tasks clearer and easier to navigate, Polpo uses a fluid two column layout ideal for content editing on larger screen resolutions. This is achieved through the use of larger font sizes, clearer spacing and distinct colours to aid the usability of common tasks. Many of these approaches are being adopted for the new Drupal 7 admin interface, so Polpo aims to bring some of these ideas to sites currently running Drupal 6.
Features include:
- Customisable header/link colours to match a client's branding.
- Clean, simple form fields and tables.
- Unique, professional look and feel for Drupal's admin pages.
- Two column (main/sidebar) fluid layout.
To take full advantage of Polpo's features, we recommend it is installed in conjunction with the Administration Menu (Contributed) and Color (Drupal Core - Optional) modules.

Pluralism
Status: I had to find the people using my theme through google to find the error. I've fixed the errors I found and have released version 1.0 of the theme. Please use and test.
This theme is a blog theme for Drupal 6. The footer is designed to have 3 columns, so for the best aesthetic look, multiples of 3 are the best look for this theme (3, 6, 9 blocks). Pain staking attention to detail to make this theme look exactly like the original template, and less like a typical drupal site.
I used jQuery to hide/show the categories on node pages. Forum's are built based on the taxonomy system, so special attention was paid to how categories display on forum pages. I also used print style sheet so users can print pages without having to go to the print view of a page before printing. There is no logo on the theme.
The icons were provided by Mark James @ famfamfam.com Lullabot!
The theme has been tested very thoroughly to be multi-browser compatible. Mainly, the theme was tested for IE6, IE7, FF2, and Safari. Tests on Opera are coming soon.
I'm very excited about this theme and would like it to become a premier blogging theme in the Drupal community.

Dark Blue
A simple yet elegant theme, ideal for a blog.
A port from the free template Dark Blue from minimalistic-design.net
You can see the original demo here: http://www.minimalistic-design.net/newtemplates/2/
Released under GNU/GPL license for the drupal community with consent from the author.
Go to /admin/build/themes/settings/darkblue to configure the:
- Logo
- Site name
- Site slogan
- Footer message
- Shortcut icon
- Search box
- Primary Links
- Secondary Links
- Blog entries with fancy dates (taken from clean template) for BLOG content types
Regions available for blocks:
- Content Top *
- Right sidebar
- Footer *
* Both regions "Content Top" and "Footer" are layed out to have the block's width be a third of the space available.
So, if you have 3 blocks they will display side by side properly; If you have more they will drop to the next line.
If you want to have only one block on the whole region, you will want to edit the layout.css and remove the width for the blocks in that region.
See the README.txt file for more information.
