Hi boys, im trying to create theme from scratch so i can change the layout and put the sidebar,header and content as i want in any position with any style but i face problems doing that and there no complete documentation to show me how to do it.
even the main menu i try to control rendering it but every module share the same function that render part of it.
i tried to study and understand kohana framework so i can understand the structure of it good but after i did i still face same problem..
could you help me please..

I have found this approach to be the easiest:

1. Copy gallery3/themes/wind to gallery3/themes/MyTheme (you can change MyTheme to anything you'd like to name your theme to)

2. Edit gallery3/themes/MyTheme/theme.info See: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Tutorials:Themes#Importance_of_theme.info_file

1. Editing your files
* To change the CSS, edit the files under gallery3/themes/MyTheme/css/
* To change page elements, edit the files under gallery3/themes/MyTheme/views/
2. Create your own thumbnail
* Once you've made your theme the way you want, take a screenshot and resize it so it's 200 pixels wide. The default screenshots are 200x133.

Have you already tried altering an existing theme to fit your needs? I'm a relative amateur, but I was able to adapt GreyDragon to look like this over the weekend: http://mrbsdomain.com/gallery/

thanks so much for all replied.
i have read this topics and tried to follow all of it but i noticed that the menus and some elements render from a lot of views in other modules
i keep track it but it hard to modify them all.
