Theme development

Hi,

I saw this in the admin "setting" page - "The built-in GD image toolkit requires that the GD module for PHP be installed and configured properly. For more information see http://php.net/image." Is it necessary to install this module for drupal to work? What happens if I don't install this module?

Thanks,

Hi,

I've downloaded a new theme, untar it and put it in the theme folder. However when l logged in as admin and try to enable the theme, the theme is not even there! why? also I noticed that I wasn't able to configure any of the available theme that are there although there's a "configure" tab or link but when I click into it, it show blank page. I don't understand. Do you think something went wrong during the installation or if I missed something? I made sure that I have .htaccess file and created "files" folder. I can't think of anything else I missed. Please help!

I was working on a theme called FlashBonsai that was a look-alike of binarybonsai.com. It contained a flash header... which turns out was not such a good idea...

So... I rediesigned the theme into CSS/HTML. Here it is!

Hi all,

I'd like to have my theme apply an id to the body tag of all pages; this would be based on the request URI. So, for:

/about_us/contact_us

I'd get some variable that = "section_about_us"

And for:

/admin/user

that variable would = "section_admin".

Of course, I'd do path lookups for when I was in /node/edit/xxx and such, too... that shouldn't be hard.

Hi Everyone,

I am a total NEWBIE!!!! My good friend suggested that I use Drupal for my CMS. He has helped a lot and yet before I go any further into it I need to know if I am able to use backgrounds on my pages. I want to use various backgrounds (they are light enough to see everything on the page) for the pages.
