Is it possible to create block positions in addition to the "left, right, center, center-right, center-left" positions? And can multiple themese be applied by page or only throughout the site?

You mean additional block? positions?

It is not easy to add new block positions - the theme-per-section is possible, but likely to be a hard-coded solution (you can override the theme in your module files)

well... there are l, r, cl, cc, cr blocks in the templates and a static header or footer.

When a mod is added it may have blocks and they can only go in those locations in some sort order.

I was wondering if instead something can be created like... NAV BLOCK where i can place below the banner in a template. Or any generic block which i can place almost anywhere.

Is this possible?

Re: block locations

sure, it's possible - but as I said it's not easy. See how it is done in the current block administration.

If you cannot work out how it is done, I would not recommend that you go into it - however, if you can, then you should be able to add the generic block area(s) yourself.

Take it as a learning exercise

The overall page layout is defined by themes/*/theme.html. You can modify that file (or files) if you want. But the XOOPS control panel only supports manipulating the pre-defined types of blocks.
