Hi Mesfin, that's correct, you can create it. The "modules" directory is a directory that can contain so-called overlays, i.e. your customizations to DSpace source code. Keeping them here makes updating easier, because the distributed source files will be replaced by the overlays. That's why it's preferable to keep them there as opposed to in [dspace-source]/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes. That said, it's faster to test your theme directly in [dspace]/webapps/xmlui/themes - you don't have to rebuild DSpace or restart Tomcat that way, just reload the page and sometimes clean the Cocoon cache. Just don't forget to copy them over to [dspace-source], because the next time you run "mvn package/ant update", the themes in [dspace] will be replaced by those from [dspace-source]. There is still a backup in a directory like [dspace]/webapps.bak-20130306-142917, though.
