You shoulda brought a gun rather than a beer, mate.
Nah, I don't need a gun, I've got a Donk.
You've got a what??

Actually, browsing through the themes gallery, several of the themes do
things which I thought to be impossible. Apparently the state of the art
has changed. Hmm, I wonder how...

When I first read this post, I thought you were using irony... now I'm not
so sure.
What is so special about this page? The rounded bottom?

OK, they's nothing jaw-droppingly "wow" about it. It just looks really
sharp and stylish. And I can't put my finger on why. (Which is probably
part of why I can't replicate it...)

Uh, yeah, that's affirmative. I took Black Piano apart and discovered
that it doesn't work the way I thought it did at all! Somehow it manages
to layer semitransparent images ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. It's news to me
that this is possible. This changes everything...
Now, if I can just figure out how this works... (The code is a tangle of
CSS and JavaScript events, and there are property names in there that
I've never even heard of.)

I've been using Artisteer for a while now. It's a (commercial) theme
generator for a variety of popular CMS. It's really a useful program it you
need a nice-looking website and don't have the time to learn how theming is
done in the CMS you're using. I've been using it for Joomla and Drupal but
it does Wordpress too. It does not replace a true web designer, but it's
faster than endlessly tweaking the CSS of existing themes.

Shadows is either CSS or Javascript. No idea what you mean by glow.
