25 beautiful Drupal themes

From many sides I hear that Drupal sites and themes are ugly, which is partly true, but I took a closer look at Drupal.org themes and handpicked 25 best designed Drupal 6 themes, to prove that Drupal can be beautiful even using standard themes that you can find on drupal.org website. In this post I provided a link to every theme's project page on drupal.org, download link and live demo link. Please note, that download links link to current theme release, which can change in the future, so use project page link (theme title in this post) in the future and download themes from there to keep them up to date.
