Theme development

I finally made a theme that I am very satisfied with! my others... yeah somewhat good...

I was looking at binarybonsai.com and I loved the theme he had on there. I had to make something like it, so after thinking up what to call this new theme, I got to work. I wanted the Header to be flash and I wanted it to look really cool and stylish. After working on it for the day and working out flash bugs and etc., I have this http://www.afterdeathgraphics.com/themedev/.

I was wondering if anyone could port over the two column gespaa theme. And if someone has already done this. Can you tell me how to get it? Thanks.

Hi,

I have recently created a new website for which I had to choose between Drupal and Mambo, I'm very glad I chose the former, but there is one thing that was straight forward with Mambo that I've not been able to do with Drupal yet: personalize how lists of nodes are being presented. Note that I do not necessarily want to change the template of each node.

I have a very strange problem with my themes.

I suppose every theme has its separate xtemplate.xtmpl file .but in my case these file dont seem to work at all.Althought if i put an xtemplate.xtmpl file in themes directory every thing works fine.

My other site wid same configuration is working nicely with no xtemplate file in themes directory.

I dont know why this is happening.I m rather new to drupal themes.Is any one here can explain it to me.I dont want to put xtemplate.xtmpl in themes directory.Plz Plz Plz help me.

Hello all-

I'm using the PHPTemplate version of bluemarine, and I'm trying to get one of the $primary_links (defined in admin/themes/settings/bluemarine) to open in a new browser window. I have thought of a couple ways of doing this, but nothing is working.

The easiest way to do this (obviously) would be to specify a target="_blank" in the <a> tag of the link. But there's apparently no way to do so with the new method for adding links (link text/url/description).

Is there some type of php call that can be executed when using php template to control the layout of taxonomy overview pages? For example, if I have a term, "cats" and when someone clicks the "cats" menu item they would be taken to the normal page taxonomy term page (mysite.com/taxonomy/term/5) but have a controlled layout. I'd like to have sticky content at the top and two colums below with blogs in one and stories in the other. I know I could create a php page to do this, but I'm wondering if it can be done in phptemplate overwrite the taxonomy default pages.
