Summary


This chapter contains two valuable resources: a listing of all the style sheets, and a guide to all the themeable functions in the default Drupal distro. The listings indicate where to find the various files and functions and provide you with a brief overview of what the files and functions do.

This marks the end of the introductory materials in this book. These first four chapters have equipped you with all the basic knowledge you need to begin in earnest to modify Drupal themes, and have provided you with the building blocks necessary for creating your own themes.

In Chapter 5, we take the next step and begin to access the style sheets and functions for the purpose of customizing themes to suit our particular needs.
