There has been quite a bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the limits of Typo’s theme engine.
The hard-working Scott Laird and three of his clones (scott-1138, scott-1139, and scott-1140) have heard your cries and have reached their collective hand down into the Subversion repository.
Typo 2.5.8 now includes the ability to use individual view files in your template if you want to modify the layout of the comment form, sidebar content, etc.
It also works with (and requires) Rails 0.14.1 (or greater).
Resources
Of course, older themes will continue to work with Typo 2.5.8. For the purposes of this contest, and in response to public demand, you can target Typo 2.5.8 if you want to (in order to use the new view-modification features).

In addition to having a great first name, Jeffrey Hardy has put together a fresh and clean theme that is also a great starting point for building your own.
If you haven’t started your theme yet, you might find it easier to start with a copy of this one. The stylesheets are nicely laid out and make it easier to find the classes you are looking for.
