Hello everybody, this is my first topic in the Drupal forum! I´ve been working with this tutorial lately:
http://www.gomediazine.com/tutorials/create-a-killer-band-site-in-drupal...
it teaches you how to turn an illustrator mockup to a drupal site. In part 5 of the tutorial you can download the complete theme, which was written for Dupral 5 I guess. I tried adding a .info file and installed the theme in the site/all/theme/ folder and still can´t see in the drupal theme list. I´d be very thankful if anyone could help me with this issue!
Thanks in advance!

Have you cleared the site
Have you cleared the site cache at /admin/settings/performance? Is your .info file blank, or does it have the required theme information in it?
Yes! I´ve cleared the cache
Yes! I´ve cleared the cache and added this data to the .info file (as suggested by user drclaw from the gomediazine site) :
name = goband
description = Some descriptions
core = 6.x
engine = phptemplate
stylesheets[all][] = style.css
regions[top_nav] = top nav
regions[right] = right sidebar
I´ve copied the goband theme folder both into the drupal root folder´s theme folder and the site/all/theme folder.
The info file must be named
The info file must be named exactly the same as the directory name, so if your info file is goband.info, then the folder name must /goband/ also. The theme "name" can be whatever you want (fyi).
Another point - if you declare ANY regions in the info file you must declare ALL the default regions as well, as it stands your theme will have two regions only. You need to add header, footer, left, right and content.

u can't have two themes with
u can't have two themes with the same name?
so if u have the goband theme in ur themes folder, and u try to make a new theme with the same name u will have a conflict and ur theme may not appear in the theme list...
also u should have the name of the theme in the .info file as the same of the name of the folder of the theme
also if this is ur first theme it's recommended to use the Zen Project it's very help full...
or u can make a copy of the garland theme and modifiy it

Since when is Zen the recommended way to get started theming? Bah humbug!

Dude, the OP wants to fix a problem with their theme, they are asking for help to because they want to have the satisfaction of doing it themselves, all power to that - just telling them to use a starter theme (Zen in this case) is not a really helpful answer.
