Theme development

Hi. I'm new to Drupal. I've successfully installed the CMS, and am now trying to mod the theme GUNMETAL.

Hey,

I'm developing a theme and everything is going great except for the contact form. The theme just doesnt get applied to it. I looked at the rendered source code and I don't see anything which I put into node.tpl.php so I'm guessing that doesnt apply to the contact form. Can anyone help?

Hello.

I'm customizing the primary navigation. In an attempt to not enter Drupal Hell, I'm learning how to override theme functions.

I just wonder if I'm going totally overboard and wasting time??? This is what I came up with...

Hope I've put this in the right place since I'm sure it's not a bug with the lightbox v2 module, just my theme. The problem is that whenever I click to view an image the lightbox is placed way down at the bottom of the page. It happens in Opera, Firefox and IE. Looking at the generated source it looks like the problem is the first "overlay" div style attribute (height: 2030px).

I saw that Six Shooter Media released the Solemity Two template a short time ago... I realy like the look of the template and it would be nice to have it ported for Drupal by somebody more experienced than me... :P

I need to set the site banner to not display the current text but rather an image. I am not quite sure how to do that. I do know that its in the header container:
