Copying a drupal default theme to /sites/all/themes/ and rework the .info, template.php and theme-settings.php as per tutorial and all works - until!
Until one inserts the line base theme = garland or base theme = new name into the .info file of the new renamed .info. Bingo drupal is dead, no access to the system because there's no theme.
It does not default to (Seven) the admin theme. Most peculiar that drupal can eliminate access because of a line in the .info file. If the offending line is commented out, deleted or changed to garland, drupal still dead.
It seems that drupal reads the multi site .info once and saves a change to somewhere in the database then does not re read the .info file To fix: Needs a fresh install of that particular multi site.
So if someone changes the .info file it kills drupal 7! This needs serious attention. It is inconceivable that something as innocuous as the .info file can be so destructive.

Next time you'll backup your database first, eh?;)
As said previously, it's probably not a great idea to modify core themes.
But anyway, I just tested your scenario and can't reproduce it.
Here's what I did: copied the Garland theme to sites/all/themes/test moved garland.info to test.info replaced all instances of the word "garland" with "test" in theme-settings.php, template.php and test.info
Importantly (I think) I commented out the line "package = Core" in test.info. ;D
Changed the theme to test and everything is working fine.
I highly recommend you have a look at Sky and Corolla, which are sub-themes of Adaptivetheme. There's even a sub-sub-theme called Footheme, with which you can override the CSS and keep your changes separate and organised.
That could be considered top-heavy, I guess, but it's worth it for the time saving, and mobile-ready layout, amongst many other nifty features. And it's especially great for someone like me, who is more a content provider and sysadmin than developer. (My grasp of CSS is tenuous at best.)

Thanks for trying. That's what I did in the first instance, it worked briefly then failed, Did not change anything. Strangely I could reproduce the failure each time using the same database. New database and the problem went away until I changed the colours, then same failure occurred. Fortunately it's a dev database so it doesn't matter if basic "stufff" gets lost. I've installed another theme that seems to be very good for the purpose. thank you Roger
I haven't tried it with Garland or Bartik, but I have followed the sub-theme directions for Seven and it worked fine. Could it actually be a failure in the Color module?

It probably did work, Jim.
I still have your site on my server with those themes installed, and I activated them without a problem.
The Genesis theme you have now looks nice. Though I'm just wondering why the long links for your recent shows in the main content still don't wrap? Whereas the links in the sidebar do?
Can anyone on the list possibly explain that?

I'm happy with the Genesis theme, but not sure why they do not wrap either. I was just going to look at other themes to see what was out there.
