Theme development

i have done themeing in postnuke. it's prety tedious. would it be fairly for a novice coder to take a dreamweaver template and drupal it?

Hi,

I am an absolute beginner in CSS having worked on J2EE and PERL for most of my career. I want to spend some time on learning CSS and PHP for developing Themes for Drupal, Wordpress and Mambo. Just for fun. I am sure most of you would know of good books on CSS targeted towards skinning/theme devlopment. If theres a book which can get me in then please post its title

I have three ideas for easier theme development:

1) I would like to see some good tutorials out there with a more in depth explanation of how to set up different types of themes. My own knowledge of CSS and what not is limited and I find the handbook hard to use. I know that this has been discussed before.

Hello,

I have been working with the box_cleanslate theme on my site http://www.bonospoquer.com, but I want to reduce the general font-size and don´t know how. I´ve tried reducing all font-size tags on style.css but didn´t get the expected result. Is there any simple form of doing it?

You can view my style.css on http://www.bonospoquer.com/themes/box_grey/box_cleanslate/style.css. Thank you all, Simon.

sorry about posting newbie probs, but i'm one...

when i click on: themes/configure and i click on any theme, i get this:
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in drupal\themes\engines\phptemplate\phptemplate.engine on line 121

drupal 4.6 - phptemplate 4.6

Is there a 3rd party resource or list available of designers with samples who create unique or attractive drupal themes ?
