as is pretty apparent from this discussion, templates are an area that some ZC developers are working and hope to get some better options available for everyone.

i may be the only one on this board that has no problem with store bought templates. some of them require more work than others to get working, and their marketing can be misleading at best. but they look nice and can provide functionality.
