 * I wonder how does to create a subtheme of current theme which not involved to
   be set as active theme?
 * I had read some info about child theme, but(correct me if Im wrong) it required
   to be activated to used that theme.
 * What Im after is that my theme have an option to choose its own subtheme(or perhaps
   child theme) without need to activate that theme.
    Does this possible btw?
