There are some theme installatioin instructions at:
Basically, you need to install "Theme Engines" to
support specific themes. PHPTemplate is a theme engine used by many themes
such as Box_Grey. So if you want to use some of the PHPTemplate themes
(like box_grey) then you need to first download and install the PHPTemplate
theme engine. Then you download and install a particular theme (like
box_grey).
To summarize:
1. Download and untar/zip the PHPTemplate them
and put it in the themes/engines folder.
2. Download the box_grey theme (which happens to
use the PHPTemplate theme engine). Untar/zip the theme and place it in the
drupal themes folder.
3. Navigate to Administer themes, and you should
see the new box_grey theme as an option.
THe second question is a bit more complex, and I'd
recommend you looking through the modules list to make sure you find a module
that's closest to doing email the way you want to do it prior to trying to
encorperate it into a menu.

Hi all,
While I did get Drupal installed, I am having some
startup problems with my first Drupal sites. I have more than one, as it
appears that Drupal is a web application that will be useful for a few different
sites.
One of the first issues deals with themes. It
seems that themes would be much easier to use and setup then things have been
for me. Unfortunately, the themes I check out at:
http://drupal.org/project/themes/
when downloaded, do not have a readme or installation instructions file that
will tell one what to do.
Relatedly, the PHPTemplate theme tool said that all one does
it upload the expanded zip (actually it was a tar/gz file) and upload it to the
themes/engine folder. Am I supposed to look for something after this is
installed? I had used Fantastico to install Drupal 4.6.4 but thought that
PHPTemplate was installed; I guess I was wrong.
At the risk of sounding naive, what does one do to use
PHPTemplate? It said that only one file is needed in the particular theme
folder such as theme/mytheme
I'm missing something, as I'm still not seeing any additional themes from
the default installation.
So, to get started with Themes, and PHPTemplate, I will need to do
what? or start where?
The second question deals with menus and Contact forms. Suppose I
want to add a menu item which will present a form for submitting content to two
different email addresses. I know that for a menu item, I first create the
new menu and then add that menu as a block. However, the path to a contact
form to contact some default emails, like editors, is not presenting itself
clearly for me. I'm not finding it, can someone help, please,
Thanks,
Bruce
