Theme development

I insert flexinode related functions into xtemplate.theme and flexinode template blocks into xtemplate.xtmpl. This comfotable to change flexinode presentation but i afraid this makes much load for server to render each field of each flexinode this way. Is any function in drupal to see page rendering time? I need to compare speed of page generation using xtemplated flexinode and phpcoded flexinode.
thanks.

I want to play around with editing the UNconed theme, so I figured I would copy
themes/unconed/* and rename everything accordingly.
For some reason my new theme shows up as "Marvin" in the configuration page.

Obviously I am going about this the wrong way - any ideas?

Is there some other file I need to tweak in order to get Drupal to recognize the new theme?

thanks,

I'm creating theme for drupal powered site and have problem with debugging theme becouse my noncomplete theme hides drupal admin menu. Is there way to set one theme for admin user and other theme for all other users?

I opened xtemplate and see that the colors are listed as:
______________________________________________
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 76%;
}
tr.dark {
background-color: #ddd;
}
tr.light {
background-color: #eee;
}
_____________________________________________________________

Can I give a different look to two blocks (box in a sidebar) in a same template on a same page ?

I don't know how to configure drupal for use a different block (piece of HTML on xtemplate file) for each block.

I'm using a 4.3.4 drupal.

Sorry, for me english !

Hello,

I am new to Drupal, I'm a convert from wordpress and I don't know all that much about php. I want to change my drupal installation from the default themes to a new downloaded one, namely the Trip theme which you can download from this site.

But I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: Class theme_trip: Cannot inherit from undefined class basetheme in /home/nik/public_html/mylagoon/themes/trip/trip/trip.theme on line 1

Can someone please explain what this means?
