Modification to CSS Styling
I've been only moderately playing with this site in spare time since my quick implementation of the Himpressive theme.
I think that for the "theme" to be completely successful, it will first have to lose the static height it is set to now. It will require expanding the two columns to match height, and take into account column resizing when certain events happen like ajax loading of views, etc. This will remove the scrolling sections in the center sections as they are just too hard to appropriately adjust for. I had been able to properly modify column width by 20px to acommodate for scroll bars if they were present, but making them attractive using jScrollpane was impossible, as it never seems to work in my installations w/Drupal. The overall effect is tacky anyway, as inner page scrolling should only be used in rare cases in my opinion.
I also need to monetize the site as well, and may be re-purposing the two lower footer areas that were originally designed as RSS/ShareThis sections of content. I don't really think these will apply to each page though, so a further thought on that section will be in order.
Last but not least, somehow I need to create a menu theme/layout for this setup.
I have no idea if Himpressive will ever become a shared theme, but if it does, these are some of the core issues that will have be dealt with before it's even worth looking at.
And since the calendar module played a large role in this theme's original design, at some point, that calendar module will have to be finished up.

Himpressive re-created from scratch
As it turns out, the original idea for Himpressive was so old now that it just has no meaning in the way I use Drupal, so yesterday I did a full revamp of Himpressive, and am working on getting it themed into Drupal at the moment.
Expect a very clean, usable, friendly layout that I think many will enjoy, and might actually be worth publishing for open source usage.
Screenshots for Himpressive...
I posted a couple of screenshots here yesterday.
