New user and a little confused

Hi I've just installed C5 for the first time on my local server and all went well(quite impressed with the installer.
However when I go into the directory I notice all the folders expected but they are all empty! Then inside the folder named concrete is the same folder hierarchy but folders contain the working files.
I next unzipped the original zip again to double check and it too has all the empty uplevel folders. Is this normal? I have never seen this type of structure and I don't understand at all.
Could somebody please advise.

So kind of like an overide so if theme/dark chocolate exist it will take priority over concrete/theme/dark chocolate?
Would just a single file work something like theme/dark chocolate/css/style.css over concrete/theme/dark chocolate/css/style.css?

Hi there, yes thats right, it would over-ride it, using the dark chocolate example, once it was moved to /themes, altered, and activated as your current theme, any changes would be read from the version in /themes. its a very handy feature.
Thank you for your time a clear answer.
For example, if you wanted to build your own theme, and wanted to dissect an existing C5 theme, say, dark Chocolate, you could copy it from /concrete/themes and place it in just /themes, change the name and code to your hearts content and it wouldnt cause any harm to your existing dark chocolate files, this can be done with most other C5 files too.
