using tabs with zen
Hi
Just starting off with Zen and I like the CSS functionality.
However one question seems not to be answered in the documentation.
When copying the files to a new subsite there's no mentioning about copy of the tabs.css that's in the original zen folder.
Is it not possible to create tabs for primary links?

TheSkinDrop.com
TheSkinDrop.com is a collection of what I deem high quality skins for multiple different devices.
The site is my first Drupal 6 site, and my first Zen Theme.
It is still in Beta, not to be 'web 2.0', but because the nature of Drupal 6 modules at the moment I was forced to use a few Dev modules, and even do a fair bit of porting myself just to get the modules I wanted.
I also wrote two modules specifically for the site, one which was released as a project on Drupal.org (mobile_codes) and another which is site specific.
All feedback is appreciated.

Hey just saw the drupal dojo group - http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-dojo - and it gave me an idea.
How about having some tabs on the top of the group to organize it a bit.
Some thoughts:
- discussions
- built with zen (sites built with zen to show its flexibility) maybe "theme garden" :)
- help section
- official updates and news
Just thought I would provoke some thought on this. Any other ideas?

First I made a PDF (see below), but Rowan linked a brilliant Firefox extension which does the job even better:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/655
It develops the view you need, with only your fields, and your CSS files.. So rather than making a PDF, I'd recommend people install and use Firefox and this extension as part of building their own Zen sub-theme. It's perfect really.

Hey Guys I am having trouble getting my primary links to be a.active when I am on a child page of that parent menu item. After searching drupal.org until I was blue in the face I thought this would be a great little check box in the theme settings for zen since I need this on a lot of sites I build. What do you guys think? Do you all have any other ideas about theme settings that would make our lives just a little easier?
Thanks to all those who have helped with zen it really rocks!

hi all
I have made a starter theme for people wanting to use Google's blueprint css layout.
I made it with zengine for 5.7.
download it at:

it may need the ie.css added with the if ie hack but the layout looks good as it is in ie6.
all the best and thanks for you help (by helping drupal). And podcasts (jeff)!

Read moreZen RTL support
I have posted this as a wiki, but was asked to do so as a story - for comments.
I was missing some i18n support in Zen, mainly RTL.
I have added RTL support to version 5.x-0.6 of the theme, so it is just for Drupal 5. I would be happy to receive comments, and to eventually see it in the main branch.
What have I done?
I have added a new class to the body. If the document is left-to-right (the default) it is ".ltr". If the document is right-to-left, the class added is ".rtl". It is similar to the game with the sidebars - you distinguish between different layouts by classes.
Base starter themes?
Un-theming Zen is getting a little old, so we're looking at settling on a company-wide base theme for all new projects. The themes we're looking into are:
http://drupal.org/project/base
http://drupal.org/project/cleanstate
http://drupal.org/project/hunchbaque
http://drupal.org/project/sympal_theme
http://drupal.org/project/zen_basic
Any opinions on these? Any other must-haves in your starter theme?
One of the other things we do is to include START and END comments in each tpl file so that you can easily trace your templates on the site by viewing source with this snippet:
