Can I create a custom theme without Actinic developer?

[skinnybloke]

Hi - is there anyway to manually create a custom theme when using Actinic Catalog or Business?

YES

Its the same process for all the versions. Its just that you get the DW extension with Developer and can develop multiple sites. If you have a design we could help change it into an Actinic Theme

Hi Gary - thanks for the reply. I can create the templates that are required but how do you get them to show under the themes > custom themes tab?

I assume you create a folder within the themes directory containing all of the images and template files and then modifiy the themes.ini file to include this.

Can anyone confirm this?

You would need Developer to export the Theme as a Theme and then import it into this list
