Theme development

I am using the xtemplate engine for my themes.

in the system table of the drupal database, I have one entry for type = 'theme_engine'

It lists its filename as 'themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate.engine'

in the same table, system, entries with the type = 'theme', should have their descriptions match the filename of the engine.

With one exception, you guessed it: bluemarine, all of my themes have the discription of 'themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate', missing the '.engine' on the end.

So I want to make the menu and them like the old site (url with held)... I have the most of it set but now I need to address the

<li class="leaf"> & <li class="collapsed">The default is, well, not my style :-)

Here's what I have so far.

What I'm thinking about is doing some what of a reversal... Dark then light hover.

Help a noob please!

I put a login area at the top of the theme. That was easy enough; I just cut&paste the login form from elsewhere. How do I get it to disappear once someone has logged in?

example: http://missions.ritchietribe.net/

I have been using the sections module to use different themes for different sections of my site and it works great. The only problem I am having now is getting a theme on my homepage.

For my articles pages I used the following:

articles*

and it worked great.

Now for my homepage I am not sure how I could do this. I have tried:

*
/*
index.php

and none of those seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Soon we will be hosting a theme competition with significant cash prizes, thanks to the funds from our involvement in Google's Summer of Code program. I'll be running the competition, and a formal announcement will follow shortly. I need some help, however, as I have very little talent for creating catchy graphics and logos. I'd like some graphics/logos (in the standard drupal.org formats) to use to advertise the theme competition. The graphics will be used both here and on sites like Apress.com (they'll be sponsoring the competition as well!)
