Themes vs css?

Hi;

I see the additional functionality that themes add. But it also seems to me
that if we use css instead of themes, then it's a lot easier for people to
change the look of our site as css is very well understood.

Any comments on how useful in practice the extra features of themes have been?

thanks - daveCSS files are usually part of a theme.
Rely on them as much as you wish.

Themes, Pages, and Master Pages

I am trying to understand some basic things about themes.
Why cannot I attach a theme to a master page?
When I define a CSS within a theme and then attach the theme to a page it
seems that I cannot use the CSS definitions directly on that page. Is this
correct? If so, why?
Thanks
Jayin the web.config in the <pages> tag add a styleSheetTheme attribute with th
e
name of your theme. If that isn't what you want to do, you can always
temporarily drop the CSS link directly into the master page for editing and
then remove it when done (unless of course you want it directly on that page
).

Thems and Templets.

Hello to all,

I am learning to apply themes and css to web application.
I want to know are there any themes and temeplets awailable for download?

If you download the starter kits, or tutorial code, some of them employ themes and templates, you could use them as examples.
