I recently hear the word custom theme. Can anybody tell me What is the difference between Custom theme and Sub-theme?
Thanks in advance..

in short; a completely custom theme does not rely on a base theme as subthemes do.

Both are custom themes, though in the one case the theme is built from scratch.

A subtheme uses a base them such as Zen or Omega that allows you to build on what an experienced Drupal theme developer has already done. A sub theme allows you to focus more on the style of your site and less on the details of how to integrate with Drupal. If you are new to Drupal, I would recommend a base theme/sub theme setup.
