Theme Coding For Drupal 6

I've recently started work on my first Drupal 6.x Theme.

The Hunchbaque base theme, which I usually use to construct new themes for Drupal 5, has not been completely ported into Drupal 6.x so I had been searching for alternatives. Hunchbaque while adequate for Drupal 5 just isn't ready yet to start making a theme in Drupal 6.

I've recently found the Framework Theme which is promising to the point a new theme I am developing for Drupal 6 has reached the point of 20% completion in a couple of hours.

Here's a preview of work done in just over 2 hours:

I estimate the time taken to build a new theme for Drupal 5 or 6 based on pre-made designs would be about 4 hours for the most basic theme if the theme was built using the backbone of the Framework Theme.

Glad you like the theme. Be

I have however submitted the following Drupal themes, which use framework as the base theme and are based on GPL designs, into the Drupal.org theme repository :

Keep up the great work with the Framework base theme,

My thought’s on Don Norman’s “Design Thinking: A Useful myth”
Submitted by stevejbayer on July 2, 2010 - 7:23pm.

The quotes below are from Don Norman’s article: Design Thinking: A Useful myth …more important, and more legitimate reason to embrace the term “design thinking.” It positions design in a unique way, forcing companies to view design differently than before. The emphasis on “thinking” makes the point that design is more than a pretty face: [...]
