Okay, I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I don't know how the theme.html files are used when my XOOPS site is generated.

For instance, I'm using the phpkaox theme (deleted the others). When ever I make a change in the phpkaox theme.html file, the change doesn't show up when I refresh my site. I've even deleted everything out of the theme.html file, then refreshed, just to see if the site crashes, but nothing, no change.

When I check my site's source code, I see that the phpkaox css file is referenced and that images from the phpkaox directory are being used, but table structures and color refs don't match the structure in the phpkaox theme.html file. Can anyone tell me when the theme.html file is used? I'm confused :P

Please check WIKI to get your answers. You should not have deleted the theme.html file. WIKI will tell you.

bah, answered my own question... must learn to trust in documentation!

...If you are trying to edit the theme.html in your themes folder and nothing seems to be changed, be sure that you set "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" to "YES" in General Settings!!...

p.s. i only temporarily deleted the contents if the theme.html file, don't worry, I haven't destroyed my site... yet... hehehe

Well, you can always upload the theme.html file and re-do the changes.
