any chance we could change this to be a little more like some others i've seen, i've been in contact with Andreas Viklund the designer of the andreas01 template and many others, that template is the most down loaded template on any OS web design site it is featured on, and he has a list of ported themes on his web site with links to the themes page of the systems they are ported to, wood press, dupral, snews, etc. he likes my ports and will put us on his list. i've looked at some of the others and ours don't look so good comparitivly?sp, it would be nice to have a way to display clickable thumbs to take you to a single page with a working sample of the template with some explainitory?sp verbage about the styling in the template, as an example i've uploaded his andreas06 template folder to my site, link below, and it shows it the way you would see it on an OS web design site with some diff. variations... just my 0.02$usd

Hi Mark,
Indeed the themes site is in desperate need of being finished. It has actually never been finished, jstu too many other things have come in between... Would you be keen on working on it? You are certainly the one who has ported the most themes to CMSMS, which is really great!
In the future the Theme MAnager will also include some kind of theme repository so that themes can be downloaded and installed right from the admin panel, like for modules in 1.0.

yes i would "be keen on working on it"...
well i'm no 'coder/module maker', i have a keen passion/love for design and untill i get my own worked out i've been porting others to get a feel for what's out there, no sense in reinventing the wheel, and it has given me an oportunity to work with the menu manager more extensively... the more i use this sytem the more i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

. i've been going to the OSWD and OWD forums and letting them know about it and have heard back from some of them, even got a couple of converts, i mean come on, if you have more than a few static pages it makes no sense not to use it, can you imagine just having to change the menu on a 25 page web site to add 1 new page, all by hand coding... been there done that... never again... no sirree... not me. i've found the solution, i will never have to use any other system to make web sites again...
