ok, well there are a few themes around. By theme I mean "site style packages", a collection of css files and images to change the look of an existing design, more on that later.
Design in eZ Publish works a bit differently then most other systems. A design is a collection of templates, stylesheets, images, and javascript.
Designs can be found in the design/ folder, one such design is 'base', and was the default front side design until ezwebin came with eZ Publish 3.9.
A ezwebin (web site interface) is a design extension, design extenions are places like this "extension/<design_extension_name>/design/".
"Design extension": is a extension that primarily contains a design, other things it might contain are it's own set of settings, modules and template operators. Besides ezwebin, you also have ezflow, they are very similar, but different enough that site style packages for one won't work on the other unless it says it does.
In ezpublish you can also use several designs at once, so on most sites I make I have the following order of designs: <site_design>, ezwebin, standard. So if a requested resource (template/stylesheet/javascript/image) isn't in the site_design, it will look for it in ezwebin design and then standard witch has all the default templates for a eZ Publish design.
This way I can start with ezwebin and just override (by placing a resource in the same location in my own design) the stuff I would like to change in my own design.
Now back to the more simple way to re style a ez publish site, site packages:
