Editing Classic Green Template??

[Jumbotron]

I am new at this as you can see, and I'm not quite sure you understood my question
in my includes/templates folder I have 2 folders automatically installed by zencart : "template_default" (with most of the zen cart files) and "classic" (which only has "CSS" and "images" folders). Can I create a custom template just by copying the content of the "classic" folder (that is "CSS" and "images") into my "CUSTOM" template folder and editing some of the files (i.e. header_bg.jpg, title_back.jpg) ? Or do I have more work than that?
Sorry if I took too much time

Yes. Once you've created your custom template, you can copy the files from the 'classic' folders to the identical folder in your custom template and edit them from there. If you need to edit a particular file that isn't in the 'classic' folders, you can copy it from template_default.

I can't recall anyone ever mentioning this, but it would surely work... Find any folder called "classic" and change its name to whatever you want to call your new template. Any later upgrade will not overwrite your new template folders since only folders of the same name get overwritten, and you changed the name.

While it would work ... you then lose the ability to switch to the Classic Template to determine if errors are template related or not ...
