Robbie, assigning to you. This is a minor task and shouldn't get in the way of theme development. However, I'd love a simple, clean site-maintaince.tpl.php file that has the Watershed Now logo.

See the article lined in the comment above. You simply have to change a variable in your settings.php file to point to the Watershed parent theme when a DB connection fails, or the site is offline. Something really simple, clean - perhaps just white with the WN logo (the one on the D.O. project page) in the right-hand corner.

Just add this line to settings.php to test:
$conf['maintenance_theme'] = 'watershed';

Robbie, can you confirm that this works on the install page as well?

It doesn't work on the installation page. Only on maintenance mode and if the database is offline.

I've looked into several methods to change the installation theme and I haven't found one yet that works without patching core. I can keep looking if you want, but I think it's going to ultimately require that patch.
