Not sure if it just me not kept abreast of changes the last couple of weeks but ...
I have after doing a 'forrest seed-sample' 1. created a new theme, 2. added it to /themes/newTheme/ directory of site, 3. added newTheme.fv to main /themes/ directory, 4. enabled 'project.theme=newTheme' in forrest.properties, 5. changed <property name="dispatcher.theme" value="newTheme"/> in forrest.properties.xml (worth a try after everything else failed) 6. In case FOR-866 was relevant , deployed locally the required plugins. All to no avail. 'forrest run' and 'forrest' both seem to be ignoring themes and using a pelt skin instead. Will keep looking, but can anyone see what I have missed / has been changed ? Thanks Gav...
