How in both version 1.8 and 1.6 can I prevent my themes from being ripped from my site?
I heard changing your global.css is a huge step I understand that but I know thats kind
of pointless as people can inspect element to find the new css name.

Any tips?

There is no way to stop anyone who is determined enough. Your CSS and js have to be readable by the browser. Changing templates would help, but even that can be ripped.

You can't protect your theme from being ripped.

Put it in a ZIP and offer it as a download. That way no one will rip your theme because they can simply download it directly.

Surely there must be a proper way? Dang guess not 😠 aww well
