Minimalist theme, any interest?

I have ported one of our WordPress themes to CMSMS and you can see it here:
http://cmsms.mytestbed.com

If anyone is interested I can pack it up as a theme. But before I do that, I'd love for you to kick the tires a bit and let me know if you see any wonkiness or anything about the design you'd like to see changed for CMS-MS.  I'm trying to load up a bunch of modules and have them handy on this demo site because I like to "pimp out" CMS-MS whenever I can and I get a lot of questions on the web design group I belong to about whether or not CMS-MS can do this thing or that thing.  :-)

Regards,

Joni Mueller

There seems to be a problem in the CSS for the menu:
In FF 2.0.0.3, when I klick the first "subpage", the height of the parent ("home") and "subpage" itself gets reduced.

Nice, but I would have the news scroll right to left so the article could be read from beginning to end...

Duh, you're right, Mark. I never thought of that.  I also made a change to the stylesheet to address the other issue spotted above.  I'm still playing around with it and should have something released very soon.

I have a question and CalGuy seems to be the one who could prolly answer this as it involves modules.  As you can see from the site, I'm using it as a play pen/mad scientist lab to test out the various modules, and to force me to code styles for them where necessary or desirable.  Now my question is this: 

If I release this as a theme, should I include the styles for the third party modules (as separate stylesheets so people can choose to ignore them if they wish)? What is the best practice with regard to this or what is the average joe CMSMS themer doing?

Thanks! This will be my first theme release for CMSMS (hopefully not the last) and I want to make sure I don't develop any bad habits! Best to nip that in the bud, huh?

Well if the CSS for a module is attached to the template when exported it will show up on import so no extra steps to do...
