custom themes

something i feel that drupal at this time is seriously lacking is interactive flash based themes.
a lot of people think that integrating flash with drupal is a no-go mainly because drupal is a php webapp...and flash is well.. a designers tool.

But if you can mash flex, actionscript 3.0, AMFPHP[a remote gateway specifically for flash and ,[ click here ] and the drupal services API. it is very well possible to envision a theme engine that allows users to create amazing flash sites with drupal.

I am trying to customize acquia slate. What is the best way to achieve a desired design? I really know nothing about designing (except for few fundamental concepts).

I am trying to accomplish this: http://gomockingbird.com/mockingbird/index.html?project=af22e4a4a6e062a2...

Can this be done with Panel & Mini Panels alone? If not how difficult it is to customize the template? Do I really need to go down the base code of the template and do the dirty stuff?

Hi.

I was wondering if there is any theming expert in the Galway area.

I have to do a custom theme, and have a few problems.

Guess a 2 hour meeting will be more than enough.

Anyone?

Thanks.

Shay.
