Theme development

The Smarty Theme should have a CAVEAT placed in the Readme.txt which says :

NB: It is not a 'full featured' theme.
1. Taxonomy Links will not appear.
2. On index page the full node will appear; in comparison to more standard display of 'teaser' in other themes.

based on smarty templates theme, i've been (trying to) develop a tabless CSS layout... anyone else succeed?

in order to get my design working, i needed to eradicate some of the table formatting that was in the book.module and the comment.module...

that's not a great way to make themes, is it?

i wish i could post my tabless CSS idea, and have other people play with it and improve it... but it's so kludgy, what with all the module hacks in it. eek.
