Joomla templates are a single html page!
I can't beleive it would cost QT that much to get a template designed by a pro. Including a source image file would be good too, pre-sliced.
There are lots of template clubs etc for other systems, I'm surprised there's not an Xcart one really,

Although I agree with some of the points mentioned by balinor (I don't know why FONT tags are still there), I doubt that a magic template that can be easily adapted using css only will ever exist. Our web designers are pro. And they will quickly find several glitches in almost any "fairly clean and basic template" you give them
Something is impossible with CSS at all (for example, a universal vertical align or lining up Buy Now buttons in product lists with multi-line product names), something requires awkward nested tags in order to work in all supported browsers (yep, ~7% are still using IE6), something (multi-folder templates) is done in order to make upgrades easier. These are the points that many web designers miss in their criticism, and that we may not miss when developing a "universal" template.
If balinor wishes, we could discuss his improvements in a separate thread (or via personal messages/email/ICQ/the helpdesk system) and use his knowledge when developing LC3/XC5 templates. But please let this discussion be out of this thread because it doesn't match the subject of this thread.
