The current Drupal Commons theme seems good for corporate sites, and perhaps more variety of designs would be interesting for other types of sites.

For example, from a Nigel Waters' comment on Moshe Weitzman's blog post Quick peek into Drupal Commons:

"I ended up trying out Celadon and Marina (Other Fusion-based themes) and there are much nicer with Commons, than the Commons theme (with a bit of tweaking for the distro, of course)."

I've opened an Acquia Marina support issue to ask about the tweaking needed.

Commons subthemes

From that issue, it looks like non-Commons themes could be more easily installed and maintained as subthemes ot the Commons theme.

Bug fix waiting for review

However, for this to work, there is a related Drupal bug on sub-sub-themes, with a patch (#26) waiting for review.

Bug fixed!

The bug has just been fixed today. This means that, when Drupal 6.20 is released (it's 6.19 now), we will be able to install any other Fusion theme as a subtheme of the Commons theme. This opens very interesting possibilities.

For those who might want to test it now, new bug fixes are added to Drupal 6.x-dev twice a day.

And this means, practically?

So will it be a simple matter to integrate Drupal 6.20 with Commons? Or does anyone know if there is a planned upgrade to Commons to include this functionality?
