    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.

    I figured that was a no-brainer 😛 I shouldnt assume that, God knows.

    Thank you, but if I use my own names is CSS, will wordpress accept it for Template Listing

    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.

    So much thanks all of you. You all are very nice.

    After crating a new theme, is their any particular section in wordpress website where someone can submit the new themes.
