addendum - so for example, with this orange theme, here are *some* of the
options (from the project page):


   - Sidebar can be positioned on the left or right (either way content is
   printed first for accessibility).
   - Blocks, comments, nodes, panels and views can be altered in the Ui with
   skinr.
   - Navigation is no longer added by default, it is a region
   - Search block is no longer added by default, themed based on region its
   in
   - New region above footer
   - Blocks can be sized 1/3, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4...
   - Image fields can be floated left or right
   - Font size can change and be made uppercase, lowercase or capitalized
   - Different list styles to choose from
   - 3 menu styles to choose
   - Among other things...

so what you see in the demo is not really what you get - it is one of many
possible ways the theme can be expressed.
