Theme development

I'm a beginner in studying different cms and so I need to know if drupal is able to work with different themes? That means, can I apply one theme to one page and another theme to the next one?

Thank you

Hi there.

I've just started getting into Drupal, using phpTemplate.

So far I've found it pretty simple, mostly pulling stuff into the template, which I'm building from scratch. What I'm having trouble with is theming a specific block - in this case the "user" block, with the login and controls, etc.

The docs talk about block.tpl.php and show the list of variables, plus a default example. Assuming I'm heading in the right direction using a block.tpl.php file, I need a little more clarification on a few points below, please.

1. Is the file actually called "block.tpl.php" or does the name change for each block? So if I was modifying the user block in the example above, does the file become "user.tpl.php", meaning multiple files for each block?

2. Consider the following line:

<div class="<?php print "block block-$block->module" ?>" id="<?php print "block-$block->module-$block->delta"; ?>">

If I wanted to theme the user block specifically, what would the format of that line become?

3. Is it possible to have a block on one part of a page prior to login, then have the block move to another position after login? The site I'm trying to work is here:

The login box is meant to be in the blue part, but I would like to move it to the left or right side (in the whitespace) after login so I'm not crowding the page too much. There are blank tables already in place for this purpose.

Drupal's theme garden (and also Drupal4Hu) has an amazing CSS footer, always visible at the button of the browser window. It works great on FireFox. But, how to make it work with IE?

Making a it work cross-browser will bring a great visual attractor to drupal themes & sites. Even the IE folks will notice the drupal difference.

On my web site http://www.spoofy69.com all of the text is very small to users of Internet Explorer. I have seen this on other sites using drupal and Internet Explorer besides my own. How can i fix this problem?

I have a theme that shows up right in Firefox and Not in IE... I have no idea how to make it work. I have the css file at http://www.afterdeathgraphics.com/style.css

The theme can be seen at http://www.afterdeathgraphics.com/adgraphics/

is there a barebones xtheme that when loaded will just spit out the website in it's simplest form? something i can use and expand upon?
