the theme_editor module is - from a usability pov - almost unusable

-->Version 4.6.0

includes a patch for the xtemplate.engine
includes a new theme_editor.engine

but no readme.txt or similiar to understand ... what, why, how

-->Version CVS

the same

well i understand what to do with the module and the theme_editor.engine
but what about other users ? drupal needs some nice themes, so i think its best to support the artists every way we can

********************************************************************

Name: Theme Editor Module (theme_editor.module)
Authors: Civicspace and Bryght
Drupal: 4.6.0 (previous version for 4.5)

********************************************************************

INSTALLATION:

The installation is easy. There are two files that must be copied
into the appropriate locations.

1. Copy the theme_editor.module into the Drupal modules/ directory.

2. Create a directory called "theme_editor" under the Drupal
themes/engines/ directory.

3. Copy the theme_editor_engine.engine file into the directory
themes/engines/theme_editor.

4. Activate the theme editor module from the modules list in:
administer -> settings -> modules

5. Create, edit and delete themes under:
administer -> theme editor

6. Set your theme editor path under the "configure tab" but the
default works fine.

THEME MANAGEMENT:

There are three tabs located under administer -> theme editor:

1. List

This lists all of the themes you have created using the theme
editor module. Initially, this will be empty.

2. New

This is where you begin each theme. You choose one of the
existing themes and the editor will copy required files to the
theme editor directory.

3. Configure

This is the theme editor storage directory, relative to the files
directory.

EDITING THEMES:

Under the list tab is where the actual editing of a theme begins.
Each theme created will have three options:

1. Edit

This will take you to the theme files list where you may edit
each individual file, upload images, and create new files.

2. Delete

This removes the selected theme. This can't be undone.

3. Rename

By default, the themes you create will start with the theme name
and append "_customized". Providing a new name is recommended.

NOTES:

XTemplate: a patch is available for xtemplate.engine and is included
with the theme editor module download. The patch corrects
some minor issues with XTemplate.
