We will now take you through creating a brand new theme. This is not as hard as it seems, and may be necessary to create a truly unique look for your website. We will show you how to create the major parts of a theme.
However, we will put a twist to things; rather than just walk you through creating a new theme, step by step, we will convert the Mollio theme from www.mollio.org into a XOOPS theme. The reasons for this are:
It will give you the foundation to convert themes from other content management systems to XOOPS, and thus contribute to the XOOPS community if you decide to share these creations.
It will let you build new themes more easily, without having to reinvent the wheel.
In the previous section, we showed you how to modify an existing XOOPS theme. Now, we will convert a non-XOOPS theme into a XOOPS theme.
To get started, you will need to download the Mollio theme package file from http://www.mollio.org, or from our demo website at http://xoopsbook.steveatwal...
