Mansour, you are right. What was missing in the theme that was in the gallery was the visualThemeSet property. This has been added after the theme was created and I have now updated.
As you have seen the BACKOFFICE themes can be selected using the VisualTheme link in the header. The ecommerce theme can be selected in the associated Store edit screen. https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditProductStore?productStoreId=9000 You will find a VisualTheme drop down. -Bruno 2009/3/11 Mansour Al Akeel <mansour.alak...@gmail.com>: > Ok, I think I know what I was doing wrong.
