Submitting Themes

[amogul]

I welcome alot of peoples hard work in submitting a free theme. However, going through the list, there are hundreds of themes based on the standard template, with minor changes to the background or colours etc.

I understand this is a big achievement for most, but not really changing much in the nature.

As far as I can see, there are only a handful of people who have truly mastered the theme modifications (D.G Craft as prime candidate).

Is it possible to have a folder for themes based on the standard theme, and another area for more dramatic changes please?

I am looking to modify the standard template, so that it doesn't look like a typical template (by which I mean, similar in design to Prestashop, OsCommerce, CubeCart etc etc)

It would really help, in filtering the 'standard' look vs totally radical layout

Thanks.

sure its possible but to create theme with dramatic themes often need to customized the html in some modules.

It would be useful to have a "Theme index" sticky post, but that would require a lot of work to create and keep up-to-date.

Can we at least make a rule to distinguish 'standard' modified template by adding something like a prefix of "STD" in the forum title?

e.g

"STD: New theme COFFEE-BEAN for 1.1.3"

Thanks.

The most usefull is to put info in the title of the post, and screenshots of the theme:

[THEME -DP] ELEGANTE - 2C - 1.1/1.3 - PSD

DP= default prestashop based
2C: 2 columns
1.1/1.3: versions that include
PSD: include psd sources

Something like this can be a rule

Yes! Pease can you make it a rule.

Thanks
