When moving form a straight up html site you will need to copy the
content page by page as there is no application that can decide
where the content is. Besides, you will most likely need to make
some styling changes.<br>
Another reason is that you need to hook up the pages in the menu.<br>
<br>
When changing a theme, you just select the new theme in admin. There
is no need for content changes.<br>
The only thing that might be needed is if you added specific theme
dependent styling in the content. Then you will have to put those
styles in a separate css file, copy that file to the new theme and
define it in the .info file. Info files are found in the root of the
theme directory and contain theme specific configurations. Check on
out, it's pretty easy.<br>
<br>
The migration you are referring to is probably just a migration of a
site from one provider to another without any change to the content.
Generally that means copying the files, dump the database and
restore the database.<br>

I still would like to know then what are the best practices to
"migrate the content":<br>
<br>
1. from a traditional site to a drupal theme<br>
2. from one drupal theme to another?<br>
<br>
Will it be a manual migration (Take each block, menu, and create
it again for example?)<br>
<br>
In fact, when I searched for some hosting companies, they
offered a service called migration so I wondered whether this is
an automatic procedure for this.<br>
<br>
Thank you for clarifying these 2 points to me.<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>

<br>
1. The Picture Reloaded theme allows for a LOT of
customizing in regard of colors.<br>

There are others, look around in <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://drupal.org/project/themes" target="_blank">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>

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

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>
