I've down a lot of searching and I can't find an answer. I've found suggestions for pre-4.7.x and the information here says 4.7 has been updated but not where you can get the update (lol). I also looked at "Issues" and didn't find anything current. I have not found anything that help me solve my problems.
In my search, I found this link on
customizing your site's theme. This is for 4.7.x, right?
I enabled on the theme-editor module. The next step is:
2. Users with the "administer site configuration" permission can administer the theme editor. This permission can be granted to roles by clicking administer » access control, then clicking on the box in the "administer site configuration" row for each role (column) in the screen.
Access control for the theme editor does not appear on the list. So I can't assign it to the admin role.
Under admin >> settings >> theme editor:
The Theme storage directory automatically defaults to files/theme_editor with new themes in a new folder inside the theme_editor.
Under admin >> theme editor:
I am able to copy, rename and customize a theme. However, I can't preview the customized theme AND I can't add it to the theme list.
Did I do something wrong? Does the Theme storage directory need to be changed from files/ to /themes or to files/themes/theme_editor? Is there something else that I missed doing?
Could you point me in the right direction pretty please? Thanks for your help.

Theme Editor
The instructions are for 4.6. (I should know: I wrote them.) That said, "administer site configuration" is still the permission you need to edit themes, though. That's under the system module heading, as there are no permissions specific to the Theme Editor.
"I am able to copy, rename and customize a theme. However, I can't preview the customized theme AND I can't add it to the theme list."
Do you have the theme_editor_engine.engine in the themes/engines/theme_editor/ directory of your Drupal install? That might be why you can't see the customized themes in administer » themes.

Thanks so much! It was a doh! moment when I added the theme_editor directory! It was late last night and I added the directory as theme-editor. I'd gone over everything, reread the "readme.txt" and just didn't spot it. After rereading your post, I went to reload the file and found my error.
Sorry to be a bother, but I appreciate the help. :)
