The first section of the page gives you a complete list of the themes currently available on your installation of PrestaShop. Their 'edit' section lets you change their name and directory (if any another directory is available), as well as many other options:.
The list's "Add new" button (and the page "Add new theme" button) gives you access to a form that helps you register a theme on your installation. This is very useful when you need to create a new theme.
Among the many Yes/No options in the Cette "Add new theme" page , there are has a few fields to which you should especially pay attention:
- Name of the theme. Make sure the name is not already used by another theme (check on the Addons website).
- Preview image for the theme. You should always add a preview image, as it is a clear reminder of what the theme looks like.
- Directory. If you have not already created a theme folder, PrestaShop will create one for you.
- Copy missing files from existing theme. This is the cleanest method to start a new theme from another theme's files. It is highly recommended, when you begin, to create a new theme from the default theme's files, as this makes sure you have all the needed files.
