Theme development

hi all

I have a problem with a Drupal 5.1 theme, the Garland RTL, which I got from
http://drupal.org/project/garlandrtl
It works in Default colors, but whenever I make any change in colors (in the Themes Configuration menu), the change isn't reflected when I refresh the front page or close and open thebrowser; instead there appears a duplicate site title underneath and to the left of the original title (also tried flushing the IE6 cache).

Thanks..

I am customizing my front page and have turned off the normal post to front page. Can anyone tell me what code to use to get the last latest article that has been set to promoted to front page.

I can't get the unordered lists to look the same (or similar - that would do) in firefox, IE 6 & 7. Vertical alignment / spacing problem.

here is the code, modified from the Amadou theme:

/*
** Menus
*/
ul.menu {
  list-style: none;
  border: none;
  text-align:left;
}
ul.menu li {
  margin: 0 0 0 0.5em;
}
li.expanded {
  list-style-type: circle;
  list-style-image: url(../../misc/menu-expanded.png);
  padding: 0.2em 0.5em 0 0;
  margin: 0;
}
li.collapsed {
  list-style-type: disc;
  list-style-image: url(../../misc/menu-collapsed.png);
  padding: 0.2em 0.5em 0 0;
  margin: 0;
}
li.leaf {
  list-style-type:disc;
  list-style-image: url(../../misc/menu-leaf.png);
  padding: 0.1em 0.5em 0 0;
  /*display:block fixes layout in IE6 but breaks it in firefox. Doing it this way does the reverse.*/
 /* display:inline;*/
}
li a.active {
  color: #000;
}
td.menu-disabled {
  background: #ccc;
}
ul.links {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
ul.links.inline {
  display: inline;
}
ul.links li {
  display: inline;
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0 0.5em 0 0;
}
.block ul {
  margin: 0;
  /*padding: 0 0 0.25em 1em;*/
}

hi everyone,

I have installed the nice_menus module and done some css theming, but have run into a problem which I simply can't figure out. I am using a horizontal dropdown in the header and I'm trying to get it into the center. also there is a grey line running across the unused space in the menu div and I can't work out where it's coming from.

here's a screenshot to illustrate what I mean: http://i9.tinypic.com/359wzm8.jpg

any suggestions are greatly appreciated,

I'm working through creating my first theme.

The odd thing is that in the Create Content pages, all the sections, 'Input Format', 'Comment Settings' etc... are already expanded and don't have the option to contract or expand them.

Also, when I try to enable widgEditor (which I've installed - and shows in the modules list) it doesn't show (not even the link the enable it).

However when I switch to any of the other themes that come with Drupal all the sections expand and widgEditor is there working just fine.

I just started using Drupal for a podcast/etc webpage for an origination. I assume just using Drupal 5.1 would be better or at least fine rather then 4.7 even thou there might be more modules to help. But it seems that most of the documentation on the webpage talkins about 4.7 (aka for theme making). will most it still apply to 5.1?
