[Solved]: Why almost empty theme.php?

[Magnus Lonnegren]

I was instructed to replace my earlier theme to a new clean one after upgrading to 1.4 and got a template error (see http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,50874.0.html).

Now everything works, but I want to modify some buttons/links in the menus etc, but in my theme.php for the theme "Water Drop", there are no things to change! The file is 1.0 kB and the content is:

define('THEME_IS_XHTML10_TRANSITIONAL',1); // Remove this if you edit this template until
                                           // you have validated it. See docs/theme.htm.

// HTML template for template sys_menu spacer
$template_sys_menu_spacer ='<img src="themes/water_drop/images/orange_carret.gif" width="8" height="8" border="0" alt="" />';

?>

Where is all the code that I can do modifications to?? Am I like, stupid, or something beacause I can't find it?

Try reading the docs

Yes, found this after a while, but it was not really intiutive. Why not write how to do also in the theme.php-file? Well, this thread is solved.
