Modifying individual form elements html markup with form api
Hello! I wonder if it is possible to specify additional properties to special form elements in form api (see forms_api_reference.html)?
for example recently i had to theme a form button. i needed a regular button to become an image.
at first i've changed button type from 'submit' to 'image_button' and though image_button type had #src property it didn't have #align property which is required for positioning the image. so i had to toss out the idea of changing a button type and render the whole button on my own like this:

I 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.

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 ...
