Before start, try make these two tools available with you. One is "Microsoft Expression Web 4" and another is "Coral-8 Uniform Server". These two tools tremendously help you to start easily. Suppose you have installed Uniserver in your PC/Laptop in Drive D and you are developing the website "drupalcodes". So your directory location must be D:\UniServer\www\drupaldev\ (this directory contains the entire Drupal Core i.e. you download Drupal 7 and rename it as drupalcodes instead of Drupal). Now we are going to make the theme "Themaccu".

Now Start: -

  1. Copy entire Bartik folder from D:\UniServer\www\drupalcodes\themes and paste it into D:\UniServer\www\drupalcodes\sites\all\themes

  2. Rename the "bartik.INFO" file to "themaccu.INFO".

  3. Edit the "themaccu.INFO" file as the codes written beside. (you can copy & paste also).

You must look there are mainly two changes in this "themaccu.INFO" file compare to "bartik.INFO" file which are highlighted in Red Bold text.

In first bold section I have added three more blocks above content area named as "topcolumn".
In second bold section I have just change the name as "belowcontent" instead of bartik's "triptych" (Just do not want the name "triptych").

Codes:


name = Themaccu
description = A flexible, Bartik based theme.
package = Core
version = VERSION
core = 7.x
