After trying to use drush "theme name" themename, there were a lot of errors. I think the documentation and the description is not well written, so here is how it works after searching a lot:

1. enable the core
2. make the command as written: drush adaptivetheme "whatever you want" whhateveryouwant
3. open the .info file and add base theme = "adaptivetheme"

Hope to save you a lot of time and fun!!!

If you are unsure just run the commands: drush adaptivetheme help and it will tell you how etc.

Note the bug where the base theme was removed is now fixed so you don't have to manually restore "adaptivetheme" as the base theme name - that was a bug and is fixed in the dev version.

Setting to fixed, since this is, at least now in dev, fixed!

@Jeff Burnz even if it's an old post: drush adaptivetheme help creates a new subtheme named "help".
The command is drush help adaptivetheme... ;-)
