When you want to create a theme that has a layout that differs from the default theme, do you simply copy and paste things from the Theme files and modify the CSS?  Or do you create your own theme files from scratch along with a new style sheet?

When I create a theme (I made several when I was bored, but never released :P), I just copy the code from the original template and modify that. I modify both the PHP and the CSS code though.

I do pretty much the same as Yoshi, along with many image alterations as well.

These examples are all designs I did using the same theme as a base.








;)

And ARG, those are pretty funky designs you got :)

Me too. What' s important is to keep stuff working properly without "reinventing the wheel" each time.
