Future Zen

This is a small template that won't be to everybody's taste and won't win any design competitions, but that's not the point. The template has been designed to meet three objectives:

1. To provide new users with a starting point that is as appealing as the classic template but doesn't have the headaches that are played out over and over again in this forum.
2. To show how much can be done with almost no effort, just by harnessing the power of the template_default and CSS
3. To be trivial to install

This template consists of just 11 files, 8 of which are images. The other three are a stylesheet that does most of the work, the obligatory template_info.php file and the installation instructions.

As you might expect with such a lightweight template it has some limitations. For example, if you wish to adjust column widths, you will need to generate new images to reflect the changed widths. Some known, but easily fixed imperfections (e.g. sidebox padding), have been left in to encourage new users to start the process of adapting this template to their own needs.
