Extending Core Themes
Permalink
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a relatively painless way of extending a core theme without actually commiting the crime of altering the contents of concrete->themes.
In particular I'm looking to add a page type while still using the default theme.
I'm working in a package and have tried adding themes->default-><page_type_handle> but this doesn't work.
Is this even possible?
Any advice would be appreciated as I think this will be a problem I will encounter over and over again and believe I'm just missing some piece of the puzzle that is concrete5 :).

You need to copy the entire theme out, then once you make the page type you have to activate it by clicking inspect in Pages and Themes.
as Mnkras said you have to copy your theme and place it in /themes not concrete/themes, so upgrades won't erase your customization.
cheers!
