Theme development

Hi, I'm new to Drupal and (therefore) new to the Views module. This is a rather verbose post, but please bear with me...

I'm ok with limited PHP, but I'm finding theme development to be rather difficult (for me). This is probably because the HTML designs for my site are quite different from a 'regular' Drupal site -- they don't need to show most of the stuff that an off-the-peg Drupal site will show, their visual layout is very different, and each section of the site has its own differing layout. Yeah, I'm not making it easy on myself...

Please help, if you can, with this issue:

One section of my site will have pages for 'Artists'. So I've used the CCK to create a content type called 'Artist', with a few fields (name, info, etc). I'm using PHPTemplate, so I have a node-content_artist.tpl.php file and a page-artist.tpl.php. My main page.tpl.php includes the right page-whatever.tpl.php based on $node->type.

Here's the thing: as well as the webpage for each artist, the site needs one page that lists all the artists (just a list of their names will do) - kind of like a menu. I need this to be an automatically-maintained page, not a manually-maintained 'proper' Drupal Menu. And its HTML is potentially rather different from a single Artist page (or, er, node?).

So, I've created a View using the Views module: it's just a sorted view of all the published nodes that have the 'Artist' content type. It's set to provide a 'page view'.

I'm using TinyMCE with the following buttons enabled: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, justify left, right, center, bullet list, numbered list, link, unlink, styleselect, image, preview, styleprops, removeformat
As far as I can tell, according to the plugin_reg.php file they should be displayed in the following rows:

This is a site with screen font style 'preview' tools and to get the css style code
useful when you design your own theme. I though it will be useful tool for Drupal theme developers

Hi all

I'm using the theme Andreas01. The actual site is located at:

http://lowenfoundation.org

But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to change the bgcolor of the main white table to match my logo at the top. I have tried to do use the body bgcolor tag, screwed around with options in style.css and print.css, page.tpl, and pretty much every other document that came with the theme.

I am developing a new theme called BlueFX. It's very very simple.

I think it will be ready for final release to the end of this week.

Current version: 0.1

I have created a flexinode for the event calendar. I am working on a theme for this type node-flexinode-1.tpl.php. I understand how to format the flexinode items but I am not sure how to pull the event date and time into the theme....
