Yes.
ThemeShaper (the Thematic People) explain how to use a child theme which allows you to create a separate theme from Thematic, but still use Thematic as a framework.
In the future you should make all modifications to a child theme, so when an update to the framework comes out, you can easily upgrade the framework, but keep your modifications.
Thanks! Is there any benefit to upgrade a theme?
I don’t recall if my designer did it with that method or not.
You would have to check the Thematic page for a list of changes for the upgrade. Then you can decide yourself whether or not to update. But generally, it’s good to have the latest version.
Thanks a lot, i’ll backup the theme and give it a shot :).
