Bill, where are you posting your screencast? I'd like to see more. Perhaps just link it on the project page?

Thank you,

We're a couple days away from getting a screencast together that shows the amount of flexibility this offers.

In other words great looking Drupal sites without custom designs -- or premium themes.  I'm not talking about a base theme like Zen, but a theme that's just been slightly modified (logo, banner, color change, etc).

I've never seen such a list.  Sure, there's theme garden, but those aren't live and tend not to show off themes in their best light.
