For example, if I disable site name from showing at all, zen theme is unable to comply. ie still display site name when site name is asked not to be displayed.

Title: Unable to adher to global theme settings » Zen doesn't reflect changes to global theme settings
Priority: Critical » Normal

This is a problem for all themes that use Drupal 6's custom theme settings.

Zen auto-sets its own theme settings (even if you've never touched admin/build/themes/zen.)

The work-around is to directly change the setting on admin/build/themes/zen. Trying to "reset to defaults" will only set Zen's settings to whatever the current global settings are; after that Zen still won't reflect any changes to the global settings.

I've leaving this as "active" until I get a patch submitted for Drupal core.

Moved to my to-do list for Drupal 7 core.

This can't be fixed for Drupal 6. :-(

I am having severe trouble adding a logo to my zen sub theme. I turned off the logo while beginning to work on basic stuff via garland, later installed zen for the theming and activated it for the front end side. Now it seems to be impossible to enable the logo or disable the sitename (don't need this one) for my zen subtheme via the global settings. The settings for garland (backend) work, btw.

"The work-around is to directly change the setting on admin/build/themes/zen."

Is this the correct path? Because:

http://sitename.info/?q=admin/build/themes/zen ... just leads me to the theme selection page. Zen and its subthemes also do not come with a *configure* link next to them. Recognizing that the path for garland's configuration is:

http://sitename.info/?q=admin/build/themes/settings/garland ... i tried:
http://sitename.info/?q=admin/build/themes/settings/zen ... and also tried the sub-theme's titles for the ending. These attempts lead me to the default 403 (access denied) page.

I guess I now am totally stuck and do not have a clue if this is a known bug. Where would you activate the logo for a Zen Subtheme's logo and define the path. Maybe directly inside the theme's css?! I would really! appreciate some help from those who know on how to solve such a basic problem.

I just solved that - big sorry, it was just too obvious - the reason was that my subtheme was the default one working, but actually it was not activated.
