<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Challenged by missing files in a few of the Themes
I've been downloading, I asked a question on the forums at <A
href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=26038">http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=26038</A> and
found out that by default, if a file is missing but called from the theme, it
picks it up from the default theme. The problem comes in styling
conflicts, if there are or aren't styles within those files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Specifically, I found some Themes missing comment
files, but there may be others missing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. We need to put this information in the Codex
anywhere that involves developing or designing themes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Anywhere that discusses or instructs on themes
needs to have this information - I'm talking about source code documentation,
external websites, wherever we can think of.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Information for those hosting Theme contests or
design contests which involve Themes need to make sure that designers either
include all the basic files or allow for CSS that adjusts the default files they
leave out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm jumping on this because of the contest
currently running and because of the bazillions wanting to get into the Theme
biz and grabbing info from the Codex. It's got to be really
clear.</FONT></DIV>
