Theme development

Hi!

I am trying to customize Garlands breadcrumb list (the little half-transparent look alike thing that goes ontop of the blue background)

Is it possible to make it use REAL Transparency (a'la filter: alpha....) to show the background behind it ? (for. one could then use an image instead of a color and have it be shown right through, would be awsome...)

I am experimenting with this and if anyone has any ideas/knows that it has been done please share it with me..(no need to invent the wheel twice)

Hello,

I'm writing to know if anybody ever faced this issue:

Hi Drupal Gurus

I've searched through drupal.org, google, handbooks, and other themes but can't find an example of this - although others have asked the question. I'm fairly new to drupal theming.

I'd like to have my theme have a menu in the footer region that is horizontal with "|" separating the menu items. I'd like to build this into my theme, as opposed to hard coding anything dependent (like mid) upon my site. I'm using the zen theme as a base.

Is there a way to remove the menu items from the top banner part of the screen. I am trying to set it up that the links to other parts of the site are visible in the left sidebar only after registering/logging in, but the ones on top are still there?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I want to be able to have users click a navigation link to input the object parameters of their YouTube video by providing a node form (called input video parameters). - with other stuff (of course) like keywords, etc. I want this input form to post to a node identified by the following unique URL - node / videos / (the actual time stamp) / (the user or session id). This node needs to be generated upon the form submission to field the posted data in order to record the form transmission? Is this possible? Is there a work around for this - which obviously looks impossible?

I am trying to create a theme using Garland as the basis. I have managed to work out how to ensur body.png remains left aligned. But I need bg-content.png to stay in position (absolute?) but cant work out what the coding would be?
currently it is

/* Now we add the backgrounds for the main content shading */
#wrapper #container #center #squeeze {
background: #ffffff url(bg-content.png) repeat-x 50% 0;
position: relative;
}

any advice please

Thanks

Joe
