I want to create my own theme, I have my CSS layout and styles, header image, logo img etc. ready to use. Instead of creating all the theme required files, I have downloaded a theme that is nearly the same to th eone I want to apply. I have created the .info file as well. It shows in the theme list on the admin console. However, it displays as "this version is incompatible with the 6.1 version of Drupal core".

Is there a way to enable this this?

When I created the .info file I had used 6.1 as the version number. Even though the Drupal I have installed is 6.1 it did not like this version number. when I swicthed it from 6.1 to 6.x it worked.

I am not a developer so I need idiots guide sometimes

I don't think that '6.1' is a valid value. The core version numbers are always 5.x, 6.x, etc

My theme was incompatible and it was driving me crazy. I ended up having to create the .info file in a plain text editor. Because it's a unix file, you want to make sure that there is no line end translation.

Various line termination conventions.

  • On UNIX, text file line-endings are terminated with a newline (n), also
    referred to as a linefeed (LF).
  • On Windows, line-endings are terminated
    with a combination of a carriage return (r) and a newline(n),
    also referred to as CR/LF.
  • On the Mac Classic, line-endings are terminated with a single carriage return (CR). (Mac OS X uses the UNIX convention.)
