+How to theme Red - by Olivier Migeot
+====================================
+
+This is a short documentation on what I found while trying to modify Red's appearance.
+
+First, you'll need to create a new theme. This is in /view/theme, and I chose to copy 'redbasic' since it's the only available for now. Let's assume I named it <theme>.
+
+Oh, and don't forget to rename the _init function in <theme>/php/theme.php to be <theme>_init() instead of redbasic_init().
+
+At that point, if you need to add javascript or css files, add them to <theme>/js or <theme>/css, and then "register" them in <theme>_init() through head_add_js('file.js') and head_add_css('file.css').
+
+Now you'll probably want to alter a template. These can be found in in /view/tpl OR view/<theme>/tpl. All you should have to do is copy whatever you want to tweak from the first place to your theme's own tpl directory.
