How to quickly theme a view?

Solution
In fact there are two ways to theme a view : the "field" way and the "node" way. In "edit View", you can choose "`Row style: Node`", or "`Row style: Fields`".
- with the "Node" way, you can create a node-contentname.tpl.php wich will be called for each node in the view. You'll have access to your cck field values with $field_name[0]['value']
- with the "Field" way, you add a views-view-field--viewname--field-name-value.tpl.php for each field you want to theme individually.
Thanks to previous responses, I've used the following tools :
- In the 'Basic Settings' block, the 'Theme: Information' to see all the different templates you can modify.
- The Devel module's "Theme developer" to quickly find the field variable names.
- View 2 documentation, especially the "Using Theme" page.
Problem
I've defined a view with the CCK and View 2 modules. I would like to quickly define a template specific to this view. Is there any tutorial or information on this? What are the files I need to modify? Here are my findings: (Edited) In fact, there are two ways to theme a view: the "field" way and the "node" way.
