    – [from Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)–

 * I guess you’re looking for [this](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)?
 * Btw. There’s plenty of other themes than the two that come with your WP pack.
   Just look [here](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes) or “google” for WordPress
   themes.

 * what many ppll do is trying to find a theme (there are hundreds available for
   free) that comes closest to your design. Once you have downloaded it into your
   themes folder you can set it as the theme for your site and then open your favourite
   html editor to change the CSS stylesheet and the xhtml template files until the
   theme matches your own site.
