</blockquote><div><br>You are putting the cart before the horse. Noone can build a pretty theme, it's too difficult, unless you are Steven Wittens (he bud!) who is a PHP Gawd along with his massive knowledge of the drupal theming systems. Someone like myself, who knows CSS and can do graphics is at a disadvantage. That is why we need the base theme so we can all simply start hanging pretty stuff on skeletons.
