There is also a Starter theme available for theme developers that includes the minimum amount of CSS and JavaScript required for the theme to work. It can be used to create a new theme that is completely different to the Classic theme.

Downloading the Starter theme

For this tutorial, we'll use mystartertheme as the name of theme, though it can be any name you want as long as it has no spaces. To download the Starter theme and copy it to the mystartertheme directory, type the following in Bash:

cd c:/xampp/htdocs/prestashop/themes
git clone https://github.com/PrestaShop/StarterTheme.git mystartertheme

Rename themes/mystartertheme/config/theme.dist.yml to theme.yml and then change value of name to mystartertheme, the value of display_name to My Starter Theme, then enter your name, email and website in the author section.
