Default Re: Creating a new theme

Thanks for the suggestion on the thanks!

I tried following the steps in the video, which are very clearly explained, and follow patterns that are common in WordPress and Drupal. But, I'm not getting the X-cart dashboard to notice the new theme. Near as I can tell

1. Create a folder with the theme name.
2. Make the changes in altskin.ini
3. Upload folder

I even waited over night in case X-cart batch processes. Can you think of any common errors? I checked that each item after the = has both quotes.

I did notice that there is a string of characters at the top of each altskin.ini that is unique for each new theme. I wonder where that string comes in.

elmirage001, I will be checking out your solution, as well - thanks!!! I see that it is a paid theme, which are generally good for developers to use.

Thanks!
