   Hi,

   I'm trying to develop wordpress theme and just want to know in context of style.css :

   1) Is it mandatory to use same stylesheet (style.css) names (#headerimg, .widecolumn etc...) in my own theme which wordpress uses in it's stylesheet of default theme (style.css) ? By the way I personally saw in few other themes (created by others) they have used some names same like of default theme stylesheet and rest of their own.

   If I use my own names then will wordpress list my theme or not ?

   Thanks in advance
   Jimmy

   Well you can. BUT: The names in the CSS need to match the names used in the html. You need to edit the templates to match.

   For the purposes of what you call *listing* you just need to make sure that the meta info at the head of the CSS is complete.
