Hello, Sam,<br>
<br>
As part of our Knight Drupal Initiative work, we will be releasing some
work that makes some, and possibly all, of what you describe possible.<br>
<br>
We have been working with the Hexagon theme, and integrating that with
Skinr. One of the goals of Hexagon is to simplify and streamline the
process of building out subthemes. Hex also supports functionality
embedded within regions; the subtheme that ships with hex provides
tabbed regions and accordion regions in both the sidebar and the main
content areas. <br>
<br>
The theme we will release as part of our KDI work will also include
classes for Views-based slideshows (leveraging the Views Slideshow
module) - the classes for this can be added via the ui using Skinr.
We're a couple days away from getting a screencast together that shows
the amount of flexibility this offers.<br>
<br>
Additionally, within the base theme, we have broken out the CSS for
some of the more basic design elements, so that the general color
options and font treatments can be easily modified.<br>
<br>
Hexagon, and the base theme Canvas, are now both available on
<a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a>: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/project/hexagon">http://drupal.org/project/hexagon</a> - We're using the 1.x
release of Skinr; while the 2.x branch has some great new
functionality, given that we are building an install profile we opted
to be conservative and go for a point release.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Bill<br>

I was wondering if anyone knows of some examples of great looking sites
built on contributed themes with only minor modifications. In other
words great looking Drupal sites without custom designs -- or premium
themes. I'm not talking about a base theme like Zen, but a theme
that's just been slightly modified (logo, banner, color change, etc).<br>
<br>
A potential nonprofit client with a very limited budget can't afford a
designer, so I told them they can go with a theme. They asked for
examples of live sites built with existing themes. I've never seen
such a list. Sure, there's theme garden, but those aren't live and
tend not to show off themes in their best light. <br>
<br>
I have a few examples of sites I did myself, but they are all built on
Sky. <br>
<br>
If anyone has examples -- or knows of a blog post showcasing some --
that would be really helpful.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
