Theme development

I have three ideas for easier theme development:

1) I would like to see some good tutorials out there with a more in depth explanation of how to set up different types of themes. My own knowledge of CSS and what not is limited and I find the handbook hard to use. I know that this has been discussed before.

Hello,

I have been working with the box_cleanslate theme on my site http://www.bonospoquer.com, but I want to reduce the general font-size and don´t know how. I´ve tried reducing all font-size tags on style.css but didn´t get the expected result. Is there any simple form of doing it?

You can view my style.css on http://www.bonospoquer.com/themes/box_grey/box_cleanslate/style.css. Thank you all, Simon.

sorry about posting newbie probs, but i'm one...

when i click on: themes/configure and i click on any theme, i get this:
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in drupal\themes\engines\phptemplate\phptemplate.engine on line 121

drupal 4.6 - phptemplate 4.6

Is there a 3rd party resource or list available of designers with samples who create unique or attractive drupal themes ?

Hi all,
in Drupal handbook I found a snippet of PHP code that creates a custom login form that you can put close primary links.
since this code is made for PHPtemplate based themes, I would like to know WHERE to put this code inside an xtemplate based theme; in a few words, I would like to understand which is the right place to put such code (a module, inside engine, or whereever else ??).

thanks for your help

The background arrow was still overlaping titles. Using z-index: -1 fixes it.

segment of style.css =>

#main {
/* padding in px not ex because IE messes up 100% width tables otherwise */
padding: 30px 35px 50px 35px;
/*background: transparent url(background.png) no-repeat center; */
background-image: url(background.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: center;

/* fix background overlapping text in IE (aka Peekaboo Bug) */
/* position: relative; */
