Sure it's possible but I don't know of any themes that take full advantage of the power of CSS. It is definitely one of the hot topics us developers dream about in a future CMS. No more d*** tables! Smile

It may take a bit more support from core nuke to emit HTML with certain well defined classes or ID's. Then the theme designers could really go nuts.

Over the last few years there have been a few threads here on this. For instance, check:

I was running this as an option on my "production" site two years ago but it is not "fully baked". We need to move past looking at tables as inherently evil and figuring out how we can fit CSS based themes with the ability for the users to customize appearance aspects, into Ravennuke.
