Ah it´s easy just by copy the files which I would like to customize to my theme Folder.
Thought it is just possible with some frame templates like the general, etc
Many thanks

Could be, i dont do themes. Our theme leader is on vacation for a week. The way i understand it, you make your css changes in the admin->theme->custom css section so that your changes dont get overwritten on updates.
I guess you could copy the theme and give it another name but i never tried that, as i said i dont do themes sorry.

+1 dave.
Theme cloning is the best option if you are creating a personal template based on default ones.
Ex: Theme Simplicity.
- go to ow_themes
- copy /simplciity/ folder
- paste it in same directory but change folder name. Ex: /simplicity_custom
- ow_themes/simplcity_custom/theme.xml
change theme key and name
<name>Simplicity</name>
<key>simplcity_custom</key>
New template will appear in Admin Panel >> Appearance >>.

Yeah thanks. This is was not the problem and I find infos about how to create themes.
But all themes i see, (bought also 2 themes), have just the standard templates like general.hml with custom css styling.
Thats easy peasy.
I was talking about the system-partials templates and if they also inherit - and they do

Paul... are you saying, that a plugins views template, like for example .../ow_plugins/photo/views/components/photo_list.html
could be copied to ../mytheme/masterpages/photo_list.html and the changes made would override the components template... ??What would the exact path be inside my masterpages..?
That would be awfully drupalish...!!
I have not tried yet...

I'm not sure, but it appears that there are two ways to customize the theme. The first way, which has been mentioned by others on this forum, is to create a .css file with your customizations and upload it to the theme folder. You can also get these templates by visiting https://masterbundles.com/templates/presentations/powerpoint/law/ source. The second way is to make changes in the core files like header.php, footer.php, etc., then upload those modified files as well.
