Drupal 7.x

Looking to add a theme picker block similar to the one in the left column of this example page:
http://www.danetsoft.com/demo/node

I've looked through all the settings for Drupal 7 and can't seem to find it. How can I turn this on?

I am using theme Bartik, and in the /themes/bartik/templates folder i have tried creating

page-node-63.tpl.php and
page-63.tpl.php and
node-63.tpl.php

and none of them cause that code to be executed for node 63.

i have tried putting changes straight into node.tpl.php and page.tpl.php, so i know i am in the right folder.

what am i doing wrong?

Thanks
Dave

I am an experienced PHP programmer and I know SQL. But I am a complete noob when it comes to Drupal. I have spent an hour or two browsing the getting started documents.

What me and a few friends are planning to do is this: (we know what we are getting in to and plan to spend years on this)

Looking for a good theme to start development in, something a little more bare-bones. I've used Zen but I'm not completely sold on the abundance of classes/id's that it adds. Does anyone have any recommendations, or any comments on of the following that were suggested to me?

Hello everybody,

i developed with drupal in its very early versions. Now im starting again, being a bit cut down by the huge dimension drupal reached. Congratulations on that by the way.

I now want to create a website which is pretty dependant on where you are on the page.

You have 4 Major parts on that site.

A header, containing a image bar, whose image will be different on ANY "node"

A sidebar ( left ) menu which is static and leads through the major part of the site.

The content in the middle of the site.
