With an eye to the forthcoming Drupal 7, I was keen to encourage everyone to look at developing stunning themes to go with this shiny new release and all with the help of the excellent Color Module. It also applies to Drupal 6 and uses Garland as its starting point.
in /themes make a copy of garland folder > rename say swirly (or whatever your theme is called)
in /themes/swirly rename garland.info to swirly.info
use text editor to find/replace garland with swirly (avoid capitals to keep simple) in swirly.info and template.php ... below is a slideshow tutorial that explains how to do the rest and get up and running quickly.
More screenshots of the finished result can be seen at our theme store here
