Once you have created your theme, you want to install it.
You could upload it to the /themes/default folder, overwriting the standard Cueburst theme, but there is a better way to install themes.
Creating an Install File
In this example, we will call your theme folder "trendy".
Create a file called theme.html in the folder, trendy.
Next, enter the following into the file, and edit the information.
Save, and upload the trendy folder to your /themes/ folder.
The file you just created allows Cueburst to recognise there is a new theme available to be installed.
Now you can go to your Staff Area > Themes, and install it.
Screenshot Preview
If you want to add a preview (like the default theme has), simply add an image called screenshot.gif into the theme folder (trendy), the screenshot will then appear in the Themes Area.
We recommend the image size is 230x141px. Although you are not forced to this size.
Go ahead, give it a try!
Here's how ours looks like.
