If there's resistance to putting in two "new" themes, then one of us could probably easily port something like Bluemarine to Zen and include it that way.

Someone has already ported bluemarine to zen/holy grail layout:
That someone would be me. :-) And as that theme's author, I can say it's not really production-usable. There are some bugs that have been noted against it where it dies a horrible death in IE. I'm not sure if that's due to issues in the original ALA design or in my port (and why I didn't see them during development I don't know either), but I've really not had time lately to fix them. (Patches always welcome. </plug>) A better-implemented Zen-like CSS version of Bluemarine like Angie is proposing would be fine by me, and assuming it breaks less than holygrail I'd probably officially deprecate holygrail in favor of it. I make no claims of being a CSS layout ninja. :-) As long as there's a good base for doing CSS-based designs without starting from scratch, I'm happy. As I've said before, I *like* Bluemarine when I'm doing development. It's dull, boring, and gets out of my way so that I can focus on the code, knowing every time look at the browser that I'm developing to a temporary look. Please, let's keep some Bluemarine-like theme in core for exactly that reason, whatever it's internal code structure is. :-) -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
