Hi, this is not a "modification or development" question, please help me understand how the default theme(s) is (are) supposed to work.

How do I do something like this with the templates in the database?
Is MyBB (by default) set up for something similar?

##

Theme A --> Theme B
The only difference between 'Theme A' and 'Theme B' needs to be in the stylesheets (reflected both in the db & the /cache/templates files).
  • If I create a "new" theme based on the current default, then additional changes to "any_template" are not shared by both.

There could be a really simple answer which I'm missing. How do I have an 'almost identical theme' where the only difference is the stylesheets?
Thank you very much.
Admin CP >> Templates & Style >> Import A Theme >> Download a fresh copy of the MyBB sofware, and upload mybb_theme.xml located in the /Upload/install/resources/ folder from the download >> Edit global.css.
I'm not sure if we both are on the same page.
How can:
1) All the templates be the same (this part is easy)
2) Use 2 different stylesheets, one for each theme. (also easy)
3) Also, For new template update: Edit only once & have the updated template shared by both themes. (How?)

I'll try, thanks.

// Change all to global templates using SQL? Toungue
If the theme settings all say to use the same template set, they'll all use the same template set...

Thanks Matt, I'm too tired and just didn't see it, oops.
