Theme development

Hi all,
in Drupal handbook I found a snippet of PHP code that creates a custom login form that you can put close primary links.
since this code is made for PHPtemplate based themes, I would like to know WHERE to put this code inside an xtemplate based theme; in a few words, I would like to understand which is the right place to put such code (a module, inside engine, or whereever else ??).

thanks for your help

The background arrow was still overlaping titles. Using z-index: -1 fixes it.

segment of style.css =>

#main {
/* padding in px not ex because IE messes up 100% width tables otherwise */
padding: 30px 35px 50px 35px;
/*background: transparent url(background.png) no-repeat center; */
background-image: url(background.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: center;

/* fix background overlapping text in IE (aka Peekaboo Bug) */
/* position: relative; */

Hello

I am in the process of creating a website using Drupal. There are several options to develop themes, but I'd like to know which one I should be using. With all the Drupal upgrades, I'd like to develop my theme using something that will be supported in the future.

thanks

Is it possible to do something ~like this in page.tpl.php (outside of either of the two default block regions)?

<?php if (block_exists('block-45')) : ?>
     <div id="banner"><?php print block-45() ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>

I got the following error when I add in new themes to /srv/www/htdocs/drupal/themes/
I even tried changing the include path in php.ini but still got the following errors:

warning: fetch(themes/leaf/page.tpl.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/drupal/themes/engines/phptemplate/template.php on line 92.

warning: fetch(): Failed opening 'themes/leaf/page.tpl.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/srv/www/htdocs/drupal/includes') in /srv/www/htdocs/drupal/themes/engines/phptemplate/template.php on line 92.

Thanks!
