After creating a sub-theme, and viewing the page source, are file paths still inherited from the parent, or do they use the name of your sub-theme?
For example, if the parent theme is named "silly-name", and you created a sub-theme named "better-name", are all the links all based on the sub-theme (A) or would they be a mix of the sub and parent (B)?
Example A (custom)
../themes/contrib/better-name/
Example B (mixed)
../themes/contrib/better-name/ and ../themes/contrib/silly-name/
To my understanding, creating a sub-theme is a great way to customize a contributed theme, allowing for your own modification, without touching the originating theme. I just really dislike the name of the parent theme. :)
