Something old is new again. The Blue_mark theme for Drupal 4.7 is available at CMS Report. The Blue_mark theme uses Drupal 4.7's default theming engine, PHPTemplate. This theme is released under the GPL.
The Blue_mark theme was originally offered by Charles Lowe and available for download at his site, cyberdash.com. The original theme was written for Drupal 4.4's Xtemplate theme engine. I maintained the theme through Drupal 4.6 for a personal site of mine. With the switchover to the PHPTemplate theme engine as the Drupal 4.7 defualt, significant work was needed to keep old Blue_mark alive. The Blue Marine theme was used as a starting point. Minor tweaks were made to Blue Marine's PHP files and significant changes were made in the CSS.
I've made the themes available for download in both Zip and Tar formats:
- blue_mark.zip - 31 KB
- blue_mark.tar - 60 KB
Depending on your viewpoint, the Blue_Mark theme could be considered either retro or outdated. Although, I no longer use the theme, I used it for too long and couldn't let it slip by after the release of Drupal 4.7. If there is enough interest, I'll make this theme available at Drupal.org. Please let me know your thoughts at CMS Report.

Very Nice!

I'm surprised I like the gradient back in the theme. When I first used the Blue_mark theme I removed the gradient because I thought it was distracting. However, it looks a lot nicer than I remembered. I may have to do the same here...offering both alternatives. I'm working on an idea for including more than just Blue_mark at Drupal. I'm waiting for a block of time though before proposing the project.
Nice job on the current content of your site, Total Nonsense. I'll have to visit from time to time.

It would be nice to make this theme available at drupal.org/project/Themes.
Also, it would be nice to port this drupal theme to drupal 5.
That's been in the plan
