Hi,<br>
<br>
1. The Picture Reloaded theme allows for a LOT of customizing in
regard of colors.<br>
<a href="http://drupal.org/project/pixture_reloaded">http://drupal.org/project/pixture_reloaded</a><br>
There are others, look around in <a
href="http://drupal.org/project/themes">http://drupal.org/project/themes</a><br>
The amount of customizing depends on the amount of configuration
parameters that are defined and implemented by the themer and the
amount of energy he/she wanted to put into the development of the
interface. Most of the time a theme is created for a particular use,
so customizing is not required.<br>
<br>
2. A theme not only defines the colors and images, but also the
structure of the site. A theme can override every bit of HTML that
is rendered by every module in Drupal. Theming in Drupal is ultra
flexible and your pre requisite that the structure of the site
should not change is totally contradictory to that.<br>
<br>
3. Sub themes override theme structures and functions of the main
theme. So you start by a master theme and gradually override parts
until you get what you want.<br>
You can not mix two themes like you describe it. A Zen theme can
never be a part of a Garland theme. You can start from a Garland
theme and copy a part of a Zen theme over.<br>
If you want to venture into this kind of theming, you have a lot of
reading and testing to do. It's not basic stuff where you can just
copy some files and expect it to work. You need to know more about
the inner workings and may not be afraid to get your hand dirty with
PHP code.<br>
<br>

P.S. If you need theming help, let me know.<br>

Is there a theme that is configurable and customizable? Let me
tell you the background of my question: I want to let users
customize their view like gmail does.<br>
<br>
My 2nd question is about changing themes. Whenever I change the
theme, I lose all the dimensions of the frames and menus. I
don't know how themes were developed in drupal, but changing
from 1 theme to another should not ideally hurt the look of the
site.<br>
<br>
And my 3rd question is about sub-theme. I keep seeing this term
especially in Zen theme. Does it mean I can run a Garland theme
and inside it I can define a Zen theme for a view? OR does it
mean I can create a new theme out of the parent theme that is
always Zen theme?<br>
<br>
thank you for clarifying these 3 points.<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
