I have cloned themes >> garland folder and renamed it so that I can customise the internal files to build a "newtheme".

However when I rename this cloned folder from "garland" to "newtheme" this new theme does not appear in the administration list of themes.

Server has been stopped/restarted.

So what files must be renamed and/or internal content to allow "newtheme" to appear in themes list?

There is a garland.info file in folder .. should that be renamed to "newtheme.info"?

I guess that I need some "theme hacking tips"?

all references to garland in the theme must be altered, This means the info.file itself , the references to garland in the info file, the template.php and all other files in the theme.

you may also want to remove or at minimum alter references to garland in the accompanying minnelli theme which lives in the garland folder as well.

thanks for prompt reply ..

I used AgentRansack

http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/

to search for occurrences of "garland" in cloned folder

some were in comments and didn't need editing

but minnelli.info needs the base theme to be changed from "garland" to "newtheme"

I now have it working and "newtheme" (hacked version of garland) shows in themes list.

....

p.s.

there is a related thread here which is useful ..
