I have recently purchased autotheme, and I was wondering if can you convert xanthia themes to autothemes, and if so how.

Many thanks a newbie

Should be fairly easy, but has several steps:

1. Make a copy of your Xanthia theme folder called 'New'
2. Copy the 'theme.php' and 'theme.cfg' files from the 'AutoPrint' theme into your 'New' folder
3. Make sure 'theme.cfg' is writable
4. Edit all templates (i.e. master.htm, lsblock.htm, etc.) and change the Xanthia tags to AutoTheme tags, for example:
[$leftblocks] needs to be [left-blocks]
[$maincontent] needs to be [modules]
etc...
5. Go to AutoTheme admin and configure your 'New' theme, go to Page Defaults and select the approprite files in all of the dropdowns

Make sure to preview the theme before using it.
