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, there are two fields and one specific option:
- Name of the theme. Make sure the name is not already used by another theme (check on the Addons website).
- Name of the theme's 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.
All the other options are indicators of how the theme is built, and can be changed at any time.
