First Ten Percent – Make themes out of old styles.
Starting today, I will be posting one cool tip a day. Any guesses as to why it is going to be filed under the “Ten Percent for the Day” category?
Today’s tip comes from Ryan :
The 1.2 styles can be turned into themes that inherit the classic theme’s templates. Just add a theme header that specifies where to get the templates.
/*
Theme Name: Inherit
Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/
Description: A theme that inherits the classic theme templates.
Version: 1.5
Author: Me
Author URI: http://me.me/
Template: classic
*/Rename the stylesheet to style.css and put it in a subdirectory of wp-content/themes. The “Template:” field specifies the theme directory to look in for templates. Use “classic” to get classic theme templates and “default” to get default theme templates.

Hi Carthik and Tom, thanks for the help but that wan’t what I was looking for. My fault, I should ahve been more specific.
I already have a different layout for some categories. What I’m looking for now is to be able to style them differently by using a different CSS file for each category.
When I find this out I’ll post the answer here.
Thanks again.
