Theme development

I have been searching the forums but have not been able to find anything. I am creating my own custom theme for Drupal. A really rough draft can be found here.

The design calls for tabbed navigation that will change depending on the section that you are in. All the tabs will be disabled except the current page which will be the same color as the page. To do this I need to be able to add an ID or class attribute to the link of the current page/section.

I dont seem to be able to get PHP Template working.

1) Unzipped file to my local harddrive.
2) FTP'd file to my themes/engine directory.
3)Went to administer/themes.

..and nothing

It doesnt seem to detect it. There are no error messages. I seem to have
missed a step.But I dont know where. So please..talk to me like I'm 2. I promise that I wont be offended. lol

Hi!

I would like to change the graphics on my Drupal site. I would like to change the look and feel of the site. I have three questions:

1. Does PHPtemplate allow me to do this?

2. Can I do this in notepad instead?

3. Is there a difference between a "Theme" and a modification of the site's appearance?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, does anyone know what font was used as the drupal logo in the Goofy Template?

Thankyou

I'm using FreindsElectric and I can't figure out how to get everything to right-align in IE Explorer. (Any content where I use a filtered format to over-ride IE Explorers tendancy to center everything, it's okay. Everything else gets centered.)

For an example, please visit this page. Note how in FireFox, the center column is Right-aligned. In IE Explorer, it is centered.

Aaarrggg! May Bill Gates rot in hell.

Most of the Themes require the PHPTemplate theme engine. So I downloaded Download latest release (4.6.0, 16/04/2005 - 03:15) of PHPTemplate and unzip in themes/engine folder but it is not working when I go to the Administer->themes then it give the fatal error: Call to undefined function: system_listing() in …………\themes\engines\phptemplate\phptemplate.engine on line 14.

I am unable to find the system_listing() function in all over drupal site which I have already installed.
