1. Did you clear the Drupal cache after adding the new theme files?
2. Can you attach your .info and template.php file so I can see what settings you've got?

Ah, looks like you have a dash (-) in the namespace that could be causing this problem. Drupal hooks and naming convention typically only uses underscores (_). Try renaming to prebuen_flux instead of prebeun-flux and see if that solves the problem.

That made sense, sorry about the rookie mistake:). But sadly it didn't help. The name has been corrected in both folder, .info & .php, I've flushed the cache and it's still not showing.

Hm, I couldn't see the .info file you attached in your previous post. Can you upload it as a .txt file or paste it in the body of the comment?

Hey kristofferrom, thanks.

I tested out your .info file and it worked fine, the theme was recognized by Drupal and I could see it under Appearances. Maybe try just placing only the .info file (the .info file is technically the only file you need to declare a new theme) and see if it shows up.

There are a couple reasons you still might not be seeing the new theme:

1.) Directory/File permissions.
Double check that the permissions are readable by Drupal, usually something like 755.

2.) Caching.
Double check that your browser isn't caching pages (you can use webdeveloper plugin to disable all caches). Also if you have server side caching like Varnish on your webserver (used on high end servers like Pantheon), it is possible the cache could cause some weird behavior, too.
