Theme development

ok, I know that I can override the node template by renaming it to theme nodes by content type.

but, what if I want my sidebars to change based upon the content type... I need to override the page template, not the node template.

is it possible to override the page template in ways besides path? my site does not have a URL structure that will facilitate what I need to do...

thanks!

When this page displays, the top gallery (ive tried several of them) .. seems to render in an area larger than the other galleries... showing excess whitespace. Its not bad on this page but when I have the admin panel open, its like 800px height for the 1st gallery container.

I am using firebug to inspect the elements and try and see what the css is doing.. and I cant find anything.

Im seeing it in firefox 2.0.0.7 but not in IE.

This is a long story and has to do with the problem getting fieldset legend a to render on a Mac using firefox. I can't get it in my theme. However my question is something related I believe.

When I take screencaptures using a Firefox screencapture utility they look okay. but when I look at the screen it seems perfectly fine.

The screen I see has a bunch of lines running through and over lapping the edit fields. When I see the screencaps it looks great.

hey i am building a theme off of the Salamander, Things are going good so far but i am having an odd problem

I can not find any of the CSS for the links such as the left menu is blue and has an underline when you rollover it.
yet i can not find the word underline in the styles.css or Salamander1.css
same for the rest of the links i can not find any of them in the css files included.

i have tried changing A and a hover in the styles css but this did nothing.

any help locating the css file for the links with this theme would be great.

Question: Best way to incorporate an adsense section.

Goal: http://digg.com/about Notice the 3 Ads displayed across the top. I'm trying for a section just above my content and below the header just like the Digg "about" page I linked.
