Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the two notices, even after I remove ~E_NOTICE from my php.ini

What's more, I think this is because I have not included a theme-settings.php. This is intentional (so far) because I have nothing to include in the theme's settings form. I'm going to leave this issue open so I can mull this over.

I dumped the themes array (using debug ($themes) and the following names are listed:
bartik
garland
mayo
panels_960gs
seven
stark
test_theme
update_test_basetheme
update_test_subtheme

If I do the following:
# grep -h ^name $(find -name "*info" | grep themes) | sort

The result is:
name = Bartik
name = Garland
name = MAYO
name = Panels 960gs
name = Seven
name = Stark
name = Test theme
name = Update test base theme
name = Update test subtheme

It looks like that Boron must be specified as name in a .info file. It should probably have it's own boron.info file. However, the only place where the name Boron is used is in this place:
sites/all/themes/panels_960gs/panels_960gs.info:base theme = boron

I Installed Boron and the error (note) is gone. So the 960gs does not only extend Boron, it more or less requires Boron.

Same here, if i enable the boron theme... the error goes away so it appears to be a dependency.

I'm looking into this - but focused on the Polymorph theme right now. Should be releasing it shortly.

Boron is, in fact, a dependency. I've purposely done everything possible to have Panels 960gs inherit as much as possible from it.

Should be fixed with the current release. Please reopen if not.

I found this thread because I just installed Drupal 7 as a new user, and want to use Panels 960gs as my theme base because it is HTML5-friendly. But I got that Boron error that this thread is about. So I loaded and enabled Boron, and now it's working, but will the Boron dependency go away any time soon? Thanks.

My advice would be to not use this theme as a new user.... It's not that mature and really difficult to use correctly.
