Drupal Themes

The default (bluemarine) theme in Drupal seems like a bad choice, but programmers, even good ones, aren't known for their graphic design talents. The other 3 that are part of the default installation are better, and I have chosen the pushbutton for this site and am trying the chameleon, interlaced and spreadfirefox themes on other sites. These seem to work fine, but have various quirks with headers and styles. I am wanting a simple, preferably tableless theme as a starting point for building some custom themes.

I also tried argeebee briefly, but it doesn't seem to work in Firefox. So, in addition to the four available in the base install:

  • bluemarine (default)
  • chameleon
  • marvin
  • pushbutton (nice looking but a little complicated structurally)

Here are the optional ones that we have tested briefly with a few comments:

  • adc
  • blix
  • box_grey
  • democratica
  • friendselectric - now in use on LearnCentrix
  • goofy
  • interlaced
  • rdc
  • slurpee
  • spreadfirefox - uses several stylesheets and has a tableless layout.
  • sunflower

Several of these are apparently designed for blogs rather than business sites and lack the site name in the heading, which seems a little strange to me.
