27 == How to create your own theme ==
30 You probably want to do one of the following:
33 * If you just want to change the text, link, background, content, sidebar colours, background image:
34 ** Do this from the Admin->Design settings (recommended!). You could also create a directory and a file structure like the default theme, search and replace with your own values. This is more work, but, you can do this if you plan to make additional *minimal* changes.
37 * If you want to change the background images and colours:
38 # Create a directory and a file structure like the default theme.
39 # Have your stylesheet import base/css/display.css and add your own styles below. It is okay to add *minimal* changes here.
42 * If you want to create a different layout, typography, background images and colours:
43 ** Create your own theme directory (base or default) with stylesheets and images like.
46 Finally, enable your theme by selecting it from the Admin->Design interface. You can set site's logo from here as well.
