[draft; outdated!]
Base themes, Drupal 6- Bluemarine: Table-based multi-column theme with a marine and ash color scheme.
- Chameleon: Minimalist tabled theme with light colors.
- Garland (default): Tableless, recolorable, multi-column, fluid-width theme (default).
- Marvin: Boxy tabled theme in all grays.
- Minnelli: Tableless, recolorable, multi-column, fixed-width theme.
- Pushbutton: Tabled, multi-column theme in blue and orange tones.
Note: Only Garland and Minnelli are tableless. The other themes use tables for layout, which is a no-no. To change a theme as an end-user (i.e., without changing the site default theme), log in and go to "Home -> My Account -> Edit" and pick a new theme. Extra free themes in Acquia Drupal- Acquia Marina: "Acquia's Marina theme is ideal for blogs and community sites. Includes advanced
theme settings and 15 flexible content regions for a variety of
layouts."
- Acquia Slate: "Acquia's Slate theme is ideal for corporate and business sites. Includes
advanced theme settings and 12 flexible content regions for a variety
of layouts."
Both of these are from TopNotchThemes, which sells various custom themes for around $300 apiece for a single-site license. (You can "buy out" a theme for around $3 grand, which both allows you to use it as much as you want, and takes the theme off the market.) Other themes to considerI looked for themes that are actively developed, use CSS, are fairly minimalist, and are designed to be customized. Note: Zen and Simply Modern require the ThemeSettings API Module to be installed. - Zen: This seems to be the new preferred minimalist starter theme.
- Blueprint: Based on the the Blueprint CSS framework
- Layout Studio: A base starter theme that tries to improve on Zen, from northStudio.com (a design firm from British Columbia).
- Simply Modern: "[A] table-less, CSS driven design sporting an advanced feature set."
- Basic: A stripped-down version of Zen, from Raincity Studios.
- Clean: Another simple starter theme.
- Framework: A very simple, 960px fixed-width starter theme.
- Nixer: "Nixer is a fast, lightweight yet professional CSS-only theme for Drupal."
- id-Facta: "This is a minimal and very clean theme, including a lot of white space,
for those who love clean and minimal designs. It is very lightweight
and fast loading." From iTemplater, which sells commercial themes for about $40.
- Genesis: a starter theme.
- Sub-theme: Genesis LITE. Not really supported, and apparently hard to work with.
- Info8: Tableless, fixed-with theme ported from Info8, a CSS template from Inf Design.
- Marinelli: Table-less 3-column, top-tabbed design that claims to be very accessible. Includes 3 sub-themes.
- [Wabi: A nice-looking theme that—as of April 2009—hasn't been worked on since April 2008.]
- [Scribbish: Sadly, not available for Drupal 6. This is a very simple theme that I experimented with, and customized somewhat, in my first Drupal 5 test installation. It was developed outside of Drupal, for Typo, Mephisto, and Wordpress; see the real Scribbish page.]
