Creating my own?

[konzair]

Is there any basic guide how to start?
I mean, i know HTML/CSS but for now thins are quite confusing.
Which file does what? What .css to edit to change the layout?

^^

You'll want to edit the style.css file. What you can also do is save over the old images to just quickly add your new ones in

Hm, okay. No fast way.
Anyways, thank you :D

Also look at the template.html file.

Well, for now i wrote down all the commands used in the SIMPLE template and writing a new layout from scratch ^^ Thank you for your help guys.

EDIT:
If it works out well I will offer some free to use layouts wich don't look as unprofessional as the ones do now ^^

I'd suggest you contact Enddayne directly yourself, she's by far the best theme maker here and can tell you a lot on how to create styles for an adoptable site.

The only codes I know of that you'll need are the following:

<title>:BROWSERTITLE:</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/themename/stylesheet/link.css" type="text/css" />
:ARTICLETITLE: - for page titles
:ARTICLECONTENT: - for page content
:ARTICLEDATE: - if you want to display dates
:LINKSBAR: - horizontal link menu (holds admin links in admin panel)
:SIDEFEED: - vertical/semantic link menu

Everything else is really up to customization. If you look at my site (Familiar Elements) you can see a bit of what I've done for themes.

Otherwise it's just regular coding.
