Template and modules of cmsmadesimple.org?

Hi!

After being too annoyed of Joomla, I decided to try this CMS and it is awesome! Not so much useless stuff, but only the things I need.
I would really like to create a website somehow like http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/ , with a row of cool buttons on the top and a drop down menu when you hover over them. Trying to get that with Joomla made me crazy, but since it's working on this side, I'm sure it will also work with my version.

1. Which theme is used by this site? Is it available for public use?
2. How can I get this drop down menu? Can't find the option anywhere...

EDIT:
Ok I found the solution for question 2, I just had to enable the "CSSMenu top + 2 columns" theme

Unless you are a pro or have a massive site, Joomla is probably not for you, good switch ;) (I like it better)  As far as the template, I would like to know too :)

I consider my self a pro (or at least +10 years weathered web head) and handle massive sites, and Joomla is not for me but CMSMS is ;)  I need Power! lol...

As far as the template I thought that it was on the main linked theme area in the main menu.. thou I have not checked.

cheers

Thanks for your answers, I searched a little bit on the website and I think I found the solution:
http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/about-link ... is-website
Who did this layout?

After a design competition was held, and a winning design chosen by the development team, Kevin Grandon implemented the theme for the site.

multimolti,

There was a contest a while ago to prepare a new design for this site. At the bottom will find the name of Steve Sicherman.

Maybe you could try and reach him via his web address.

Looking at the bottom, I notice This site is currently running CMS Made Simple 1.4.1

Eek!  Shame on you guys, haha.

This is probably due more to my ignorance of Joomla than anything else.  I always found it to give way more stuff than I needed.  I always saw Joomla to be one step below actually paying for a custom CMS.  But I've never used it enough to know anything about it.  CMSMS meets my needs ;)

Take care,
Lance

Hey guys, I wrote an email to Kevin Grandon, but he couldn't help me.
Hi Lennart,

Unfortunately I have not worked on the CMSMS project in quite some time. If you did not see it on the themes.cmsmadesimple.org site, chances were it was never turned into a theme. You may want to just view the source and copy the CSS & HTML layout to your own site.

I gonna write another mail to the guy from the bottom of this page...

Hmm, no luck either.
Hi there, afraid I designed that just for CMS made simple.

@Laurie

That's probably best asked at the Joomla forum.
