Theme development

Hi all,

I use pushbutton theme for its very nice usability and standards complaints. As reported here http://drupal.org/node/24827 for phptemplate , I would like to insert an "active" class to the current link in the primary/secondary menu.

Then I will add some different CSS to highlight the current position of the user. (see http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ main navigation as example)

I'm developing my school newspaper's new website using drupal, and things have been going great so far. However, one problem stumps me and all my local gurus. The website is www.morisy.com and the problem is unvisited links won't be set to the color i define them to be in the left hand column. Visited, hovered, etc. links all are white, but unvisited links remain blue. Any ideas? The style sheet is at http://morisy.com/themes/ricepudding/style.css

Hi

- What is the easiest way for non-programmers/non-techies to manipulate/develop/modify/apply themes/templates in Drupal?

- What do you recommend PHP-templates or XTMPL-templates? And which template would be the easiest to modify
(example: Pushbutton or Grey Box)?

- In case which folder apart from the themefolder are relevant?

- Is it enough doing this using Dreamweaver?

- Does it matter if the SQL-database is "up and running", while working with themes?

  <title><?php print $head_title ?></title>
  <?php print $head  ?>
  <?php print $styles  ?>
  <.script type="text/javascript"> </.script> <-- this one; why is it here?

note that I added the dots to trick the input filter.

Any insights welcome. Thanks.

Hi,

I've just set up my first content type and added a node. I've read a good number of tips here on themeing flexinode, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. (I'm looking at the info here: http://drupal.org/node/26398)

This is what I'd like to do:
I plan to make about 1/2 dozen content type with flexinode. I'd like to customize each one via themeing.

So, I'd like to "theme all the fields separately", and to "theme flexinode at the node level" I suppose.

Hit to all!
I am a bit new to Drupal, however I find it a perfect tool for web developpers who want to create dynamic content web sites!!
