Hi again.
A newbie question again!
I am trying different themes for my personal site, for private use. http://www.jesperwinblad.net.
Can i change the themes or should i ask the author?
And if i can change the theme how do i change the info that is specific for the author, for exampel in the flower theme it says at the top OCEAN-NET Official Homepage ?ˆ.
and i try to change that in the theme.html file for that theme, i'll do that with just in notepad, i download to my server (remote server) but still it says OCEAN-NET Official Homepage ?ˆ. do i have to change any other file?

if you are modifying these themes for personal use, feel free to hack away. If you plan on releasing these themes to the public, the respectful thing to do is ask the original author for permission.

A theme is comprised of several files working together and when modifying one you will probably work with these files

theme.html - the base theme file, utilizes all other listed files
theme_blockcenter_c.html - defines how center-aligned center blocks appear
theme_blockcenter_l.html - defines how center-aligned left blocks appear
theme_blockcenter_r.html - defines how center-aligned right blocks appear
theme_blockleft.html - defines how blocks in the left sidebar appear
theme_blockright.html - defines how blocks in the right sidebar appear
style.css - css stylesheet used in most browsers including IE and Opera
styleNN.css (optional) - css stylesheet used in gecko (Netscape) based browsers
styleMAC.css (optional) - css stylesheet used for the Mac platform

If you are not familiar with CSS, I would highly recommend checking out http://www.w3schools.com/css/ which will explain the basics. Also there is a commented stylesheet for the default theme what each style rule controls:

I contact the developer and ask his permission.
Thanks for the quick respons.
