Hi Bengrah, That's actually the most recent steps I followed, I downloaded Matt's sample code, changed instances of the name devcon and placed it where directed in that tutorial, then restarted the server.

I have read through … and a good few web tutorials (http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/mikeh/2010 … -jar-file/ being the most recent)

Hi Jan,

A million times thank you! Now we have an actual non-default theme applied, I can go about the far easier task of customizing that theme. Not sure what was different about this one from, for instance the Mike Hatfield tutorial but whatever it was worked .
