Hello guys,

I want to convert some tempaltes in new skins themes.
If I start , I want to do it for Siena. Not for Genoa.

Is the skin delivered in Siena Alpha reliable to use to convert a skin theme?
Or is there another version I better use?

Pls let me know.
If there is a template someone wants to be converted. Let me know.
... can we help you ...

The theme currently shipped with alpha (Nemesis) is a developer/thememaker theme, so it is recommended to derive your themes from it, rather than with upcoming end-user theme symisun-03.
May the Source be with you!

In header to address a picture from img in the theme directory you can use {PHP.theme}
eg: <img src="themes/{PHP.theme}/img/h2.jpg" width="385" height="103">

This does not work in index.tpl nor footer.tpl
Other tpl's not tested.
How can I address a picture in the img directory without using the real theme name in the link.
... can we help you ...

Better use CSS for that (unless there's a special reason why you want it to be an <img>. For icons I recommend using a sprite. For logos it's best to use <h1> with a background image and text-indent:-999em;

Another recommendation: look into HTML5 Boilerplate. I intend to create an HTML5 theme as a base for theme development when I find some time to do it.
