upgrade Theme compatibility with 1.7 - please assist.

[jucedupp]

Hi there

I recently completed an upgrade for our client by following the guide at https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/basics/keeping-up-to-date/upgrade/

The client runs multistore with various themes based off the default-bootstrap theme.

I upgraded them using the manual upgrade instructions as per the link above, as the 1-click upgrade module kept failing.  The page linked above was our main guide when considering and quoting the upgrade for the client.  I realized after the upgrade that the theme was no longer available under "themes" and that the upgrade process had installed a new "Classic" theme.  

After searching around on the web, I came to realize that 1.6 themes are not compatible with 1.7.  I must note that the guide at https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/basics/keeping-up-to-date/upgrade/ not once makes mention that 1.6 themes will no longer be compatible with 1.7 after the upgrade.  I had to find clarification of this on StackOverflow.

Obviously, I am now in a difficult situation, because we have done a lot of customization on the default-bootstrap theme over the past few years for our client's purposes.  

My questions are:  

1) Is there a method / module / script / guide that I can use to upgrade the default-bootstrap theme and not just replace it with Classic?

2) Alternatively, is there perhaps a 1.7 version of the default-bootstrap theme available, that someone jury-rigged for 1.7?

3) What 1.7 theme would be "closest" to the original layout / design of default bootstrap?

Regards

Jacques
