I'm lead to believe that it is not necessary to reproduce all of the contents of the base theme in the directory of the sub-theme; the point is to inherit all of this so you also inherit updates. If I read this correctly (<span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT9931_com_zimbra_url"><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT9937_com_zimbra_url"><a href="https://drupal.org/node/225125" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://drupal.org/node/225125">https://drupal.org/node/225125</a></span></span>) I don't need to provide anything but at least one new stylesheet; everything is inherited from the base theme.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the help,<br></div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span><div>Chris.</div><br></div></div></body></html>
