Are most themes not supposed to be working wtih the latest version? I seem to often see errors saying XXX.thtml is missing.

No, unless they were updated. You could alse take a look a this one here

That is a huge shame for me. I have struggled with getting this running because i fell in love with XNature which I saw in the demo. i am not advanced enough to figure out how to rewrite it.

It's not that difficult perhaps. XNature is a changed XSilver theme which is updated to GL1.3.10. First upload the missing files (overwrite the complete layout/XNature/admin directory) and then see what's happening.

You might be lucky, and the 2 minutes FTP job is worth trying...

I have already download and uploaded it. GL just rejects it. I have no idea how to rewrite it, but thanks for the advice anyway. XSilver works.

I have read this sixteen times, and still cannot figure out what it means.

General note: To upgrade your custom theme for use with Geeklog 1.3.10, you can simply copy over any new template files from the Geeklog default theme.

i have now 7 themes, tried and tested, they work. i was in love with XNature after running your demo, and that is why i decided to try this out. unfortunately, given i cannot figure out what the hell that above line could possibly mean, i doubt very much i will get my XNature skin.

Translation: If Geeklog tells you it can not find file x then copy that file over from a theme that works and has that file.

There's an exception to this rule that's missing here: When it asks for the files archivestorytext.thtml or archivestorybodytext.thtml, you should make copies of storytext.thtml and storybodytext.thtml (of your current theme) and rename them accordingly.

Those 2 files are used for stories in the "archive" topic and making copies of the normal story templates ensures that the look matches that of the rest of the theme.
