Theme development

Hello. New to Drupal (as in today), but not to coding/programming.

Drupal has been installed and I am trying modify a theme. I choose Aberdeen as it was closest to my eventual layout.

However, when I go in and modify any of the files (style.css, page.tpl.php...) within Aberdeen, none of my changes are reflected. Just to go to the extreme, I deleted all the files within /themes/aberdeen/ and the only thing that changed was the images not showing up.

Hi,
I'm currently trying to build a dropdown menu like the one in this tutorial[1]. I already found out, that I obviously had to customize the link-function in my template.php. That worked surprisingly well for the primary links, but I don't know how to get the links below the top level items.
Recursion is not needed yet btw as I only got two menu levels.

I am trying to use Aquasoft theme. Where can I get all the icons for Aquasoft? The default installation doesn't seem to have many icons.

Thanks

I'm trying to figure out what the best way to add a custom icon to each block on my site. I am currently using a theme that only has header text with no icons/images. A starting point would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm using the Garland theme on my site and I have the option enabled to display the comment submission form below post. However, the box is out of alignment and it's a real eye sore. It just needs to be indented so that it lines up with everything else. Any suggestions? (I'm a real noob at PHP so detailed advice is appreciated.)

sounds a weird request, but it is basically what i need: different styles (and xhtml code!) for primary and secondary links

for primary, i need a "normal" UL formatted text link, so i can charmily use/override/whatever phptemplate_menu_links().

but secondary links bar is totally different: menu items are image-based and made as something like:
