Hi again,

Since Koki posted his home page mockup (http://www.zeta-zone.net/haiku/haiku-home-mockup.jpg) for the Haiku site, I have been working on applying my theme style to it:

http://drupal.bug-nordic.org/haiku-os.org/

It's not nearly done, but I think we can see what we're getting at. I'm leaving it up to Waldemar or Gavin to work out a way to incorporate this into the Drupal system. I don't know enough about Drupal, and since Gavin said hacking wasn't needed, he probably know a way :) 

Heh, I do indeed. :D

It's just the case of adding...

if(is_front()) {
    include ('page_front.tpl.php');
    return;
}

...to the top of the page.tpl.php file, and then putting the custom front page template in page_front.tpl.php

Considering the template system Drupal uses is PHP intensive, I don't feel this is really a hack.

Back to the theme. I need to update the fonts. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

At the moment I think the text is a bit too small and I've never been crazy about Verdana.

I like the look of Lucida Grande with a font-size of 9pt...It's softer than Verdana, and a little bit larger.
