Theme development

How would I go about subdiving the "Mainpage" in horizontally (both on the left and right) using css in so the text wraps instead of using tables for the same fuctionality?

Here is an example of the page I have:

              SIDEBAR| MAINPAGE
-Links                    |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             |

Instead I want something like: (the arrows represent the size of where the text can now go)


SIDEBAR| MAINPAGE
-Links |-------> <-------
|-------> <-------
|-------> <-------
|-------> <-------
|-------> <-------
|-------> <-------
|-------> <-------
|-------> <-------

Hi there,

I have set up a redirect so that the front page has its own layout.

However, the css is not working for background images...

I have imported the frontpage css as instructed using the handbook:

<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "<?php print base_path(). $directory; ?>/frontpage.css";</style>

The styles are working so the css is being imported correctly, however the images are not.

The images are stored in an images folder.

An example of an image used as a background:

Hi !
I'd like to know how to customise the menus, others than the primary links in Drupal 4.7 ?
I'd like to add a vertical delimiter like this one |

Thanks for your help ;)

Just starting a thread here to take a discussion out of the Hanbook.

Hi there,

I am following the code from the handbook:

front page layout switcher for your page.tpl.php file

that should let me build a seperate home page look (I want to use icons only on the front page, as it is a site for school children - so iconf for forum, icon for news etc).

The code:

I've searched the site and found a fair bit of interest in an XSLT based theme engine.

Just want to know if anyone has accomplished it, because I'd love to have the engine, but I'm not able to put in the time to make one.
