[themes] Dreamweaver CS3 Extension for Drupal Themeing

Sat Aug 11 00:26:15 UTC 2007

Pre-existing modules? If they have defined divs, classes and so on  
then you could just adjust or add the settings to your new C.S.S.  
with your new templates.  Of course I also think that the Drupal.css  
file should go away and have only one style sheet for the majority of  
items.  But I would leave the amount of style sheets to each theme  
developer because not everyone works the same way.  I personally use  
just one and use shorthand and compress the sheet as much as I can.   
But I would still like to see all of the module developers use XHTML  
1.0 Strict, CSS 2.0 (3.0 possibly) and I won't pick on them only.   
Drupal needs it too.  Another issue I have is either create a module  
for the <HEAD>So that I don't have to dig down in the core of Drupal  
to add or change items</HEAD>  Or just leave the head to be changed  
independently for each page, article, book, node and so on.
