Hello Mani, In your definition you just need to extend thomahawk.
Copy the decorator GlobalDecorator in your theme and define it like *themes/xerus-theme/widget/Theme.xml (add) : <common-screens> <root-decorator default-location="component://xerus-theme/widget/CommonScreens.xml"> <screen name="GlobalDecorator"/> </root-decorator> </common-screens> With this your condition and property on SidebarTemplateLocation is unecessary because mandatory by your theme, so directly present on your theme decorator code.
