Theme development

Hi all,

I Was thinking today, wondering if it would be possible to create theme for Drupal that renders output completly in SVG? With SVG coming built in the next Firefox, more and more people will begin incorporating SVG into their websites.

This is not very pratical, I know, but creating a theme like this could really demonstrate the flexibility of Drupal as more than just an HTML content managment system... Drupal could be the ultimate XML engine.

Anyone else thought about this?

I created a node-forum.tpl.php file, and got it working (if not styled yet.)

Now on my index page, a forum entry I promoted to the front page is styled line node-forum. (i.e. it took it's attributes.) The rest of the entries are styled appropriately (node.tpl.php).

Is there a way to make my promoted forum entries take on the default of the rest of them?

The following is a perl script which I wrote to download all the themes on the drupal website. You may modify at will.

I just did a fresh install of Drupal, and downloaded the Leaf theme. It looks great in Firefox, but in IE, the blocks are all messed up; instead of appearing on the right beside the main content, they appear on the right *below* it - ie, however long the post is, the sidebar blocks start that far down the screen. Also, in IE, the blocks show a doubled set of <li> icons - the squares-and-triangles of Drupal's default menus, plus the little arrows of Leaf.

I've made a nice xhtml/css template, but I am having issues converting it to drupal.

I was wondering if there was anyone/any company willing to take my template and convert it into a phptemplate drupal template. I'm hoping to pay around $50.

You can check out my attempt to convert the template myself at techanddev.com

I have been trying to learn do it myself but I don't have time right now and I'm trying to get this site off the ground. Someone with some knowledge with templates could put it all together in a few hours.

Any interest?

I am trying to remove the fadeout from the FriendsElectric theme and extend the colored borders to the bottom of the browser window. I have found it easy to remove the fadeout (just delete the appropriate CSS!), but I can't figure out how to make the colored borders on the columns extend to the bottom of the page.

If I add this to the stylesheet, the borders extend exactly 1000 pixels from the header:
