I already tried adding a themes directory but it didn't seem to work. Seems it is only for sending to the repo so that the texture packer script grabs them and creates the required .xbt in /media. Else I'm doing something wrong -- I created themes folder in base skin dir, then in that a folder with the Theme name matching the colour xml (e.g. Green for Green.xml) then put the textures inside that as per the usual /media but didn't seem to work.

Only works with xbt files in the media directory afaik. Without compiling duplicate media folders seems like the easiest way, rename one or the other to test the themes. The themes directory is purely for creating themes when the skin gets build for official repo.

For Testing i do it realy simple
i've got just a Folder per Theme with the relevant images in it, and copy paste them in the media Folder to see how it looks.
Pretty simple. Don't knew if there other solutions around.
