Drupal 6: Hot new themes
This video highlights the new theming features of Drupal 6. The themes, Pixture, Wabi, and Twilight, are the work of Hide Ito (Pixture), and utilize not only the Farbtastic color picker, but also the ability to adjust the width of the layout, and in the case of Twilight, a configurable header silhouette.
UPDATE: The process of configuring recolorable themes is described very well at Pixture Studios.

It is that phase of my life! I'm just turning 30 in a month, working with Drupal for 7 years and just had my third Acquia anniversary a week ago. Time to look back and evaluate how things went, all the good and bad things; even better if the wisdom can be shared with others. This was part of my thinking when I submitted the session titled "Come for the software, stay for the community" for Drupalcon Copenhagen.

It sounded like a really simple request: "Is it easy to add a search filter for 'My posts'?". In other words, add a search result facet for posts by the current (logged in) user through the Apache Solr Search Integration module APIs?
But then the wheels start turning - we want not just one blind link, but a real facet link that tells us how many results we'll get. Also, if we are filtering by 'My posts' then we probably have an equal use case for the opposite filter 'Posts not by me'. So we really need a facet block with two links and facets counts.

Thanks for the post, Robert! I would've totally missed Pixture... I love this theme! The orange scheme will go great w/ Ubercart.org if I ever find the time to tidy up our humble homepage. : )

Its great that they use the color module, but I would hardly call these 'hot' themes :P

Thanks Rob for the demo. I like the logo change that Twilight gives. It would be cool to see a demo of how to create a Drupal theme with these kinds of features, including a "how to" for the png file.
Sometime back in IRC Kieran and I were talking about getting more folks involved into the Drupal theming side of things, I was comparing Drupal theme activity to the number Wordpress themes and themers. Kieran went on to mentione he had a conversation with WordPress owner (is his name Matt?) sometime back and Matt asked what will be the big thing for Drupal in 2008, and Kieran answered theming. I chuckled because this was a weak point for Drupal (some 5-6 months ago). Seeing this (demo), theme developer module, new Drupal 6 theming changes, and all the work going on for Drupal 7 encourages me. It looks like Kieran might have made an accurate predication!
Robert, thanks for the
Robert, thanks for the demo.
It's quite rare to see themes using color module, so they could easily be called "hot".

Wow! Incredible. I've been a fan of Hide Ito's icons since the OS 8 days :) The boxes from the "tea icons" set have been my HD icons until just a month ago (Yeah they would look kinda odd in Leopard, I'll have to find new ones)
Super! Thanks, Robert!
