Theme development

I'm wanting to port my CSSimple theme (see http://drupal.org/node/34630) to 4.7

So I have a test site running the code I just checked out of CVS. I copy the cssimple theme files into the themes directory. admin/themes sees all the themes. I enable them, and select one as the default. It doesn't switch themes.

Oooohh... it's even deeper, because if I switch to a theme other than mine (e.g. to marvin or pushbutton) it still doesn't change.

I see no errors anywhere I can find.

I am designing a new theme and I want the links for comments (displayed along with nodes) to be generated in a manner that is very different than what comment_link() from comment.module currently does.

What is the clean way to do this? I do not want to hack the comment module since it will be more cumbersome to make the changes all over again when I do an upgrade.

Is there a way in which the actual comment_link() is not called but my_function() is called?

Anyone else having problems with the display of poll results in Firefox 1.5 Final using the Sands theme?

For some reason the bar that's supposed to show in black (#000) is not shown in Firefox 1.5 Final :-(

It works fine in IE and other themes are also working like a charm - both in FF and IE.

Anyone...?

Would be practical to be able to make the secondary links bar truly dynamic.
In many cases I would like to have more links there than what the design allows, so I wonder how much work it would take to put some code there that could rotate a list of taxonomy links, for example.

Could also feed it manually made links from the very secondary menu source.

A "real" horizontal ticker would probably be too complex and not easy to click on moving links, but to have some code rotate a set of links could be elegant.

I'm testing out using Drupal to allow me to create and manage basic web brochures, particularly when there are many pages involved. I was wondering if I could configure Drupal to show 1 theme for the main site and another theme for anything under /admin. This would make theme development a lot easier as I wouldn't have to bother with formatting the admin area. Is it easy to do?

Many thanks!

I've run into a problem with the FriendsElectric theme in Opera.

Take a look in Opera 8.5+:
