What

Themeeditor aims to reduce the amount of expert knowledge required to produce a Plone theme. Historically, theme creation has required knowledge of many "moving parts" such as viewlets, zope page templates, generic setup, zcml, css, html and buildout.

Themeeditor provides a single location where a new theme can be created by customizing an existing theme. The resulting customizations can then be exported to a filesystem based theme product.
