  It's a very simple theme, transparency effect can be done in CSS. It's a commercial theme, so can't download without handing over the dosh.
  
  I don't think I have time right now, though.

  its not commercial
  
  you have to go through a shopping cart just because they use it as a way to calculate the number of downloads or something but its totally free. you never give any info except the factu register and then you pay "0.00$" for the theme
  
  PLEASE help, im getting desprate here, its the perfect theme for me, and I now its simple, I just am clueless in themes... tryed to figure it out but im one of thoses with no talents lol

  OK, had some time to look at it. It's a pretty basic PHP-Nuke theme, basically some colors and a pic slapped at the back. Not much thought for legibility etc. The most interesting part is the transparent yellow column, which turns out to be part of the background image.
  
  Here's the original PHP-Nuke screenshot
  
  Looking at PHP-Nuke themes is I guess a bit like PostNuke history, it's a glimpse of what PN themes used to be years ago. I've never been there, but they're still closely related so easy to extrapolate, but it's still easier to take an existing theme as a template and build the HTML on that, especially considering the way I code them. Given there was very little HTML, that gave me some leeway. That also means it gets a searchbox and Topics drop-down menu thrown in, along with the column layout options of left only, right only, both, centreblock full width, or homepage, and ShortURLs support built-in.
  
  Anyway, I fear I strayed somewhat, as I decided I needed to fix the yellow column, which was part of the background. So I rebuilt it, along with alternate colored versions, which I used to recreate the transparency effect in CSS. So the drums aren't quite as apparent as they were, but you can at leastt read the text in the center.and right.
  
  I also ended up doing lots of stylesheet tweaking, though I don't know if it's quite there yet, but I had to stop .
  The transparency is what makes it look the nicest, I think. The trouble was making it cross-browser compatible. Meaning IE. It unfortunately breaks CSS1 standards with its interpretation of positioning, perhaps not intentionally. So I used it's proprietary Alpha transparency filter instead. Downside: Everything within the container turns transparent, not just the background, which in this case is not intended, so care must be taken not to lower it too far.
  
  Anyway, I'm tired and going to bed, so no more tweaking for today. This is perhaps easier to modify than if all the HTML was embedded in PHP. Much of it is done via the stylesheet, including the background images.
  
  Here's a screenshot …uke version is like.
  
  Download Drumschool.zip
  Download contains the Photoshop file as filler. If people want to try other color combinations or tints.
  
  This is why I have to remind myself not to get started on little simple badly-coded themes.
