I’m confused on how the yiic webapp command auto-generates the “classic” theme. It seems that the best way to style an app is to do it all through the “themes” folder. When the yiic webapp command runs however, it places the layout views under /protected/views/layouts, the CSS under webapp/css, and images under webapp/images.
Shouldn’t those all be placed under the “classic” theme?
I’m also trying to understand the webapp/views folder in general when it comes to themes. Is it recommended that all of the view files within that folder stay exactly the same, and only when you need to make changes to them you copy/paste them into the themes folder?
Doesn’t it technically does use a theme with the default setup? The main.css and bg.gif files are something I would consider a theme, as well as layouts/column1.php, layouts/column2.php, and layouts/main.php.
Or am I thinking about this the wrong way. The ‘classic’ theme is just a placeholder for a default setup, and not a theme at all?
