Comments on: Working with Drupal Themes Pt. 5 - the finale! http://tarnaeluin.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/working-with-drupal-themes-pt-5/ Technology, soapbox, and crap...

I totally agree. My troopers theme is based on zen as are all of my theme articles for Drupal. Zen is the best theme to start from since it has all the basics and enough comments to help you see what's going on. For me this was good and bad since my theme is structurally quite different from zen. I do intend to return again to my theme and look at a pure CSS theme with no tables, but right now I was having huge problems with cross-browser compatibility so I gave up. I would post the theme to drupal.org, but I'm afraid of a lawsuit from LucasArts. :-( Before I revisit my troopers theme, I'm going to look at creating a "Saab Turbo-X" theme...I just got a decent shot of the turbo unit so I'm all set to start this. beren Thanks for your comment!

A good choice for "base" drupal theme could be Zen drupal theme (project http://drupal.org/project/zen and demo http://themegarden.org/drupal50/?q=node&theme=zen ) When you wish to create some theme, sometimes could be better to start with existing one, and to make modification.
