I've done subthemes before, but never so quickly as when using Drupal's ninesixty contrib theme last night. Here are a few quickstart pointers for other folks who think README.txt is always optional.
My .info file looks like this:
;
name = brianfending (subtheme of 960 Grid System)
description = Custom subtheme inheriting all of the awesomeness of 960.gs theme
core = 6.x
engine = phptemplate
; Subtheme specific styles.
stylesheets[all][] = styles/brianfending.css
; Get rid of the debug stylesheet loading by referencing it in
; the subtheme *without* having the file there... I know...
; it's hacky.
stylesheets[all][] = styles/framework/debug.css
; Base theme for this subtheme.
base theme = ninesixty
And that, my friends, is that. I am then able to do whatever crazy preprocessors or CSS Selector-fest I want in my subtheme without mucking with The Awesome. And that, I feel, is The Awesomer.
