All I want in the subtheme is a new custom css file and a different folder of header images.

1]
Stylesheet
I created a new .info that declares zeropoint as the base theme.
In the new .info I declared a stylesheet with a new name within the _custom folder.

However the website continues to have the original custom stylesheet ( _custom/custom-style.css) and is ignoring the other stylesheet declared in the .info file.

2]
How to direct the subtheme to a new set of header images?

Cheers
Miriam

1. You should use only _custom/custom-style.css for any custom css. By design the theme does not allow another custom css file, because it is not needed.

2. Just modify the following line in _custom/custom-style.css, to ask for file(s) in your new folder, located in the _custom folder:

/* HEADER IMAGE ROTATOR */
.himg #headimg {
	background: #fff url(YOURNEWFOLDER/rotate.php) no-repeat 100% 100%; /* rotates images in the headerimg folder */
	border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}

... and do not forget to copy rotate.php to your new folder.

I have 2 use cases for a subtheme.
I want to present the client with 2 versions of Zeropoint. I want to operate a multisite setup using zeropoint as the theme, but each site looking different. But I do not want to have to maintain 2 installations of zeropoint, nor keep multiple copies of custom.css aligned - that is what subthemes are for, after all.

As I understand subthemes, declaring different stylesheets in the .info file is the way to do it, with a different name when one does not want to over-ride but to add to the base theme.

It seems this theme is set up in such a way that the usual method of subtheming will not work.
So what is the custom way this theme will support subthemes?

Kind regards
MIriam
