== How to create your own theme == You probably want to do one of the following: * If you just want to change the text, link, background, content, sidebar colours, background image: ** 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. * If you want to change the background images and colours: # Create a directory and a file structure like the default theme. # Have your stylesheet import base/css/display.css and add your own styles below. It is okay to add *minimal* changes here. * If you want to create a different layout, typography, background images and colours: ** Create your own theme directory (base or default) with stylesheets and images like. Finally, enable your theme by selecting it from the Admin->Design interface. You can set site's logo from here as well.
