I have a premium account to thethemes.cc and can download any of their free game themes. The problem is they package their free themes with the SmartDark template which I hate.

I want to replace the template with another forum from another theme. I can simply place the forum inside the theme folder but is there any prefered way to merge the two seemlessly. I change all the code and point it to the new path but is there a better way? Can I delete the forum.css and just use the theme/style/style.css for control?

Is this legal if I leave all the copyrights in place?

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to incorpoarte a diff forum than the one that was pre-coded for that theme. You can as you have been doing, add the fourm folder into the themes folder and then you'd have to configure all the images info for that forum theme.

As for your second question about deleting the forum.css and replacing it with the style.css...again it depends on the theme maker and how they have pre-coded the theme.
