How to add a new theme?

[pilot830]

I have a html5 template that we're going to use to.. so how would we generate a dummy theme? like a skeleton base..

I tried doing this

cd themes/
cp -Rfp flow mytheme

cd mytheme
nano *.php
then editing the files to all say mytheme
but when i refresh my admin section for themes, the new theme is not listed there to activate

Basically, the usual way we've done it is.. Just editing the flow/ folder and thats how we hack in the new html5 integration...... but this time around i thought it would be better if we create a new folder

n/m i figured it out.. Certainly, uploading it kept giving me errors.. but i ened up just copying theme/flow to theme/myname

editing the config files, then going in the database theme table and adding it there

If I remember correctly you must also add a new row in the theme table when adding a new theme.
