The Drupal Themer Pack is a group effort of people who want to contribute to Drupal and make the lives of themers a little easier by creating a comprehensive set of templates for every themable in Drupal core. The goal is to do the work of separating logic from presentation; however, the themer pack will not change the output. If you drop the themer pack files into your theme and enable it, you should see no difference until the templates are modified.
By making this accessible, themers will have a much easier time of creating precisely the theme they need, and of understanding what Drupal offers.
Some of this work will be very easy; some of it will be very complicated. We will accept help from anyone who wants to contribute.
Please make a post here when you're working on a particular section, so people know you're working on it. Also, make a post here when you STOP working on a section, so people know they can work on it. This will reduce merge conflicts.

Read moreI apologize
I would like to offer my sincere apology to the Themer groups here on Groups.Drupal.Org and to this community in general ... I meant no disrespect to anyone. Being a non-artist I have the highest regard for those who can do what I cannot; create beauty in web designs and other visual art forms. Likewise as a programmer I have an equally high regard for all web developers and the difficulty of the work we do.
Read moreQuestion about GPL and NON-PHP Themes
If I build a Theme that uses no PHP or GPL'd JavaScript but does incorporate PERL code in the template would that PERL code need to be GPL'd?
I realize of course this would mean that the hosting installation would have to have PERL enabled on their server (not a normal Drupal setup) but I don't think that is the same as "requiring a 3rd party proprietary program" since PERL is open source and quite common on many hosting services.
GPL group recommends CMS templates be licensed under a different license.
Read more... but templates are a special case, because they are combined with data provided by users of the application and the combination is distributed. So, we recommend that you license your templates under simple permissive terms.

Themes versus Modules
There has been much discussion through the years about the automatic GPL status of Themes and Modules, and I will weigh in on that topic itself in another post (see the bottom of this post). But for now suffice it to say that I see an argument in favor of requiring GPL for Modules but I see a very different and very compelling argument in favor of excluding Themes from the GPL mandate. This post is to address a pre-cursor to that argument ...

Module Developer | Design Guru
We need a really simple DRUPAL 5.0 module to be developed ASAP -
Essentially, its function is to allow role(s) on the site to have permission to choose from a list of pre-defined colors - when a color is selected, the module will load a color-specific .css file after style.css; effectually overriding some styles in style.css

Best practice for declaring functions within .tpl.php files?
Is there a best practice (or is it just poor practice?) to declare a function within a .tpl.php. It seems like I should avoid declaring functions since these are templating files, but in some circumstances, it allows vastly simplified code---and I'm not sure where else I would declare a function within the concept of the themer pack.

Theming Drupal 6
This session will teach Drupal users how to theme the latest Drupal 6. Things have changed from last version and this course is here to tell you what's changed. Learn the basics and more to get confident and results from your Drupal theming efforts.
This session will go over how to build a new custom Drupal 6 theme.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for people who have a basic understanding of Drupal and some coding or web development experience with technologies like HTML, CSS, and at least a little PHP. If you're interested in getting up and running with Drupal 6 themeing principles then this is the course for you. All source will be handed out during or after the session.

Read moreTheming in Drupal 6 with devel
A heads up on theme development for Drupal 6.
Thanks to the new theme registry by merlinofchaos, there's a nice side effect of being able to intercept theme functions from devel.
What this provides is the ability to list all themable functions used in a page making it a lot more understandable. There is working code but it still needs work. If anyone has ideas on presenting this information please post it. For now it just dumps it into a table but we can get pretty fancy with this, especially with jQuery.
Here's the issue queue:

Dreamweaver Extension Developer Needed | Peter Apokotos
I am looking for an Adobe Dreamweaver Developer to create an extension that will allow the creation of Drupal themes from novice to advanced designs for any Dreamweaver user on the Macintosh or Windows operating systems. This extension must export drupal themes that are XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS 2.0, and Section 508 compliant. Please contact me if you think you are the person for the job. And your bid on this project. The main requirement is that this Extension must be always up to date with Drupal's theming methods.
Guidelines and instructions on separation.
If you haven't done so, please read this groups home page description for the general idea behind this group and the How to contribute page on contributing code. And please mark the Work in progress wiki for any sections your working on. All sections are grouped by either modules or .inc files and the Work in progress wiki is only a partial list.
This wiki will go into more detail, suggest a few guidelines and hint on how we should go about separating the code.
You don't have to follow the suggestions provided here but staying within them will flatten out the learning curve a lot faster for themers. Lets make it as easy as possible for theme designers by maintaining some consistency.
There will also be a few changes to the theming system in Drupal 6 (it has been committed!!) and some form of the work done here will eventually get into core. One of the new features is to have modules provide their own .tpl.php template files. Soon, it will be very easy to drop core template files right into your own themes.

Workshop proposal: Let's help make it easier to theme Drupal!
UPDATE:
While the following post was primarily geared to the Los Angeles Drupal group, it (should) have some relevance to 'some' folks in whatever group you're reading this in. This is an ongoing 'drupal' project and the more folks that can get actively involved would be a very good thing....
Experience is the best teacher!
I was just looking through add1sun's latest commits, and I noticed a few things that could stand a little improvement.
I took this function:
<?php
function phptemplate_user_picture($account) {
if (variable_get('user_pictures', 0)) {
if ($account->picture && file_exists($account->picture)) {
$picture = file_create_url($account->picture);
}
else if (variable_get('user_picture_default', '')) {
$picture = variable_get('user_picture_default', '');
}
if (isset($picture)) {
Another theming working group
The newly minted 'Zen Task Force' may provide some great project orientated learning opportunities in realm of theming. Seems like it would tie in quite nicely as an extension to the great Dojo theming lesson as well as our work on Merlin's 'Themer Pack Project'?
