I didn't design the original theme, Brian Gardner did, and its no longer available to download in his site (the theme was WP). It would be relatively easy for me to emulate the exact design in photoshop, but I'm afraid I'm really busy so this is not one of my main priorities. If there is enough interest about being able to make color change to this theme I might even try to connect the theme to the color module like Garland or Pixture Reloaded where you can change the colour scheme with a colour picker. I have an idea of how to do it but have never done it so might be a fun project.

Here's one way to reverse-engineer a snapshot of a site into colorizable image slices.

(does not include the actual color.module steps, just the image splitting)
EDIT: looking at the theme, this level of image manipulation may be overkill, just css+color.module may be enough

Hey thanks for the link dman! You're right it might be an overkill. I just need two update the colors of two divs, in the header and the footer and if the images are transparent pngs (with white for the content part) it won't be a lot of work if I'm already making the psds. I'd really like to learn how to use the color module in themes I could use it for my other themes too. Cheers.

I wanted to upload this the other day but I couldn't upload psd files, I finally got round to archiving it and resubmitting. This PSD file mimicks the header background, you can easily tweak the colours and styles. I'll leave this open because I still want to make some more modifications to the file, like fading the shadowed line, which will solve another issue in the queue.

PSD files won't be needed in the next dev release of my theme because now there is color module integration. Check out the screenshot for now here: http://drupal.org/node/397996#comment-1341332
