Also, it would be possible to edit child themes for other WP frameworks such as Thematic?

No, you can not edit the themes

I am a bit confused. I thought this created child themes. You start with something close to what you want and then use this tool to fine tune it to your desired outcome and it creates the child CSS file to upload and use.

And/or is it you have to start from scratch everytime when creating a theme using this tool?

And/or is it you cannot edit a proprietary theme like Athualupa and Thematic because they have custom name references in them (guessing - do they)?

You can't take an existing theme (like Atahualpa) and use ThemeFrame to modify it.

If themes cannot be edited, do you always need to start from scratch?

I guess what I am asking is a workflow related question. What do I start with, what do I work on, what do I end up with.

Hi Brad,

I'm new to themeframe, and fairly new to WP, but I'll try to give you a couple of answers.

First, you can watch the video. It shows the Themeframe workspace in action

The attached .zip is the the default starting point in Themeframe. You can use it in WP, just load it the same as any theme.

In it's current form, this is the only a starting point. You can save copies of your own work, and modify them in different ways going forward. And, save them at any point.

There are no "theme templates" included in Themeframe other that it's default.

I suppose that users could share their work with each other if they wish.

Hope that helps a little.

I agree completely with Larry.

It only make sense that a tool that is more comprehensive will take longer to learn.

In respect to Artisteer; What it does, it does very well. But, you can quickly bump up against it's limitations.

I just did a quickie with Artisteer and it actually looks pretty good for a newbie. I agree with the limitations, I can already get a feeling about that. But for $49 it's a good for quick easy sites in a rush.

Still waiting to get my access upgraded to download ThemeFrame.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Dsn4me- I sent you a PM at 9 this morning

Got it.. Thanks for the help.

I like ThemeFrame so far - It will keep me busy for a while learning it.

Happy holidays Everyone..

Hi people,

I'm a bit confuse.

Some people say here that ThemeFrame does NOT have the option to *edit* an already made theme.

So then, what is the *import zip file* function inside TF do if not importing another theme from its zip file?

Thanks for your feedback.
