Installation:
1. Download Zen from http://drupal.org/project/zen
2. Unpack the downloaded file and place the zen folder in your Drupal
installation under one of the following locations:
sites/all/themes
sites/default/themes
3. Log in as an administrator on your Drupal site and go to Administer > Site
building > Themes (admin/build/themes) and make Zen or one of its
sub-themes the default theme.
Optional:
4. Install the Theme Settings API module. Available from:
http://drupal.org/project/themesettingsapi
This module is built-in to Drupal 6, so why not add it to your Drupal 5 installation?
5. From the Theme settings page (admin/build/themes) configure the Zen theme
or a sub-theme and note the additional settings that are now available
under the "Theme-specific settings" heading.
Build your own sub-theme:
The base Zen theme is designed to be easily extended by its sub-themes. You
shouldn't modify any of the CSS or PHP files in the root zen/ folder; but
instead you should create a sub-theme of zen which is located in a sub-folder
of the root zen/ folder. For example, the zen-classic sub-folder contains the
files for the Zen Classic sub-theme.

Layout method for the base Zen theme:
Based on the completely undocumented "Holy Slurpy Cup" layout method. Docs to
follow soon; I promise.
