Renamed theme not showing
Permalink
I'm a noob and downloaded Flexcrete to try to learn how to edit and customize themes. From the forums I thought I understood that you should copy the package from the concrete/themes folder to the /themes folder with a new name, rename all the folders in the new folder that refer to the old name, change the info in the description.txt to the new name, and rename the png file. I copied and renamed it to flexcrete_2 and renamed all the subfolders that used to be called flexcrete to flexcrete_2. I have a couple points of confusion.
My first problem is that the only png file I see that shows the old name is the icon.png file. Am I supposed to rename it to icon_2.png like I did the theme name?
The second problem is that when I edited the description.txt and changed the name from flexcrete to flexcrete_2 and then saved and closed it, the carriage return between the line with the theme name and the description is no longer there and it runs the theme name into the description.
I don't see it in the dashboard as a waiting to be installed theme so obviously I did something wrong. I thought maybe it was the way it was saving the info in the description.txt file so I went back in and added a space between the theme name and the first character of the description line but still doesn't work. I also cleared my cache. Some help would be appreciated.

Thank you for replying to my post!
Which controller.php do I change? I seem to have one in the /themes/flexcrete_2 and also in the /themes/flexcrete_2/controllers/dashboard/flexcrete_2 folder. I opened up the controller.php in the lower folder and it says:
Would that change to:
The controller.php in the higher level folder has many references to flexcrete. Do I need to change all of those references to flexcrete_2?

If you already installed the original Flexcrete package, I recommend uninstalling it before installing your copy.
