Editing/ Building a new theme... Where should I really start

[LF11]

Hi all,

 

I'm wanting to find out what the first steps are to editing/ creating a new prestashop theme.

 

The designer's guide basically states: Open the global.css file and change it according to your needs. This is where you are only limited by your creativity – and your knowledge of CSS.

 

I understand that I need to edit that CSS file but what if I want to change positions of modules and edit those modules via CSS? How would I do that? I'm looking to create a theme that is completely different from the standard theme, in layout, functionality, modules and design.

 

Only editing the standard theme is not very attractive for someone who has created his own design in PS already.

 

I feel a bit lost.....

 

Thanks for letting know!

 

Cheers
