I tried to make a sub-theme but was faced with various problems.
Is there something specific to look for in making a D6 based sub-theme?
This is what I did:
1. Created new folder
2. Made new nitobe-ix.info
3. Added line base theme = "Nitobe"
4. Copied screenshot.png and theme-settings.php and nitobe-utils.php
5. Copied style.css and page.tpl.php in order to change them
As far as I know, this should work, but it didn't: I got
Fatal error: Call to undefined function nitobe_alt_word_text() in /home/macmladen/drupal6/sites/bf.interexim.rs/themes/nitobe-ix/page.tpl.php on line 5
I see this practice as the best way to build on theme and inherit improvements.
Can someone help me on this or make some tutorial on sub-theming Nitobe?

#1
Having the same problem. Did you find a fix?
#2
Older versions of Nitobe were making calls to theme-defined functions from within the template files. This would often cause issues with subthemes.
This should be corrected in the 6.x-4 branch.

Yes, things are inhereting correctly and there are no errors. My subtheme's header/masthead images are not appearing however. Anything I should look for to make sure that happens correctly?
