Creating a custom theme in
Drupal is a web designer's worst nightmare. The usual approach of "Hey, I'll just change the existing code to make it look how I want" will result in the subconscious compulsion to stab yourself in the face . . . repeatedly. Luckily, there is a solution! Not just for a limited time, always with free shipping, plenty of free bonuses in stock, and all for the constant special price of just $0! And you
do not have to call now! (or at all)
Meet
Zen, the most boring theme you will ever see. Upon first glance you might thing, "wow, this just sucks!" However, I suggest reading the documentation
before judging this theme by its aesthetic qualities. Upon reading the documentation, you will understand that it is supposed to suck, and it does it beautifully. Zen is a blank slate free of imposed CSS properties and adulterated, incest, and three-eared inhabitants. Ok, maybe that description is a little extreme, but if you have any coding experience I believe that it is the easiest way to convey the message.
The Zen theme, the body, shows the default markup generated by the mind, or in this case Drupal. The best part of Zen, however, is that it goes above and beyond the users expectations. Instead of manually searching, creating, and typing each html class and innumerable parentheses, the work has already been done, and damn well! Main classes are even commented out with CSS properties that you can simply
copy &
paste! As far as I am concerned, Zen is the only way to go, it's technically the best choice, it will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, it will save you time (which = money), and it will fulfill your spiritual emptiness.
