Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi . . . i want to customize minneli theme with another content width color etc.
I can change the color settings from the engine inside the theme builder and the widths from css but is there a standard procedure for this?
I mean i have copy-pasted the garland theme folder with the minneli subfolder to sites/all/themes/my_garland changed the minneli.info file to
my_custom_theme_minneli.info and it's working . . . but is this the right way?if i update sometime later to drupal 6.11 or something else
would it work?

devin carlson commentedTo properly customize a theme, you will want to create a sub-theme. Sub-theme's do not modify the original theme in any way, so if new versions of Drupal update the Minnelli theme in any way you won't have to worry about any of your customizations being overridden.
To learn more about creating a sub-theme please see the Creating a sub-theme page.
