I never noticed until recently, but the theme are growing. I am not sure what is causing this. (copy paste of widgets ? or flow examples from forum?). BUT, i actually _want_ this i dont know how it is done.
My question is HOW to copy an existing theme so that i can change just one attribute and making a clone.
I need two themes to be identical only page background to be different, i can make this manually creating a new theme and setting everything by scratch. is there an easy way. ( i mean there must be , i have created many copies of 'default themes' without knowing how)
