Hi,

If I'm working with the new Drupal theme system, and create multiple directories with the same name, even in different subdirectories, then Drupal picks only one to display (the one in the deepest file hierarchy). This is reflected if you do the following:

Go to the themes directory.

Copy "bluemarine" to a name like "themeB".

cd into chameleon.
Copy "marvin" to a name like "themeB".

Go to "Administer Themes" in the Drupal menu.

You will notice that themeB in 'themes/chameleon/themeB' is the only one listed. The user would normally expect that two be listed: 'themes/themeB' and 'themes/chameleon/themeB'.

VERY minor bug but a bug nonetheless.

Thank you,

This is "by design". The Drupal theme system uses the directory name as the theme name. Theme names are meant to be mutually exclusive. (Two themes with the same name is illegal.)
