I want to customize the purchased WHMCS theme but I don't want to loose the changes when the theme is updated.
So, is there a way to create a child type of theme just like we do on Wordpress. If not, please advice the best method to do it in WHMCS.
WHMCS doesn't support clientarea template files overriding as in WP.
Use git to follow changes in the original purchased template, as described in Six template page

Normally I add the translations of the content from Odoo interface but I was wondering if there is a way that I can include them too into my theme. So I can control everything in it. Do you know how I can do it?

Can any one help me on how to overwrite the theme in Shopify. Is there any option to create custom child theme under main theme and write custom codes into the activated child theme? Or there is another way to customized the theme.
There is no concept of child themes in shopify. Shopify refers to copies as duplicates, and a theme is either published or unpublished.
Before editing a themes structure make a duplicate and this is generally what should be worked on instead of the published(live) until all changes are done and the theme previews look ready.
If used to version control software(git) there are tools to automate the upload/download so you can work with your preferred editor locally.
So If you want customize the theme then just create a duplicate copy of the main the theme and do your all changes in the duplicate theme and see the all changes using theme preview option. After completing all of the changes, you can publish the duplicate theme and it will work as an active theme.
Anyone has an idea about how to change the default Backoffice Login Theme (Color, Background and image or any of these) ?
It could be helpful if you point out the file(s) responsible for this, or a specific way to customize it.
Using Hybris 6.0 or later.
Replacing Styles of Backoffice Application :
It is possible to replace the standard look and feel of the Backoffice Application. In other words, you can change the style sheet used in login page and main application pages including all components.
Files responsible for changing Backoffice main page style are located in the following key properties :
backoffice.cockpitng.mainpage.css=/cng/css/mainpage_whitelabel.css

I have bought leo_chopin theme (because client asked for it). My question is how to customize a theme from html/php/css editor and not from admin panel (it's too constricting). I wouldn't hardcode, but use hooks. This is the first time I'm using Prestashop and that style of programing... For example, where to call my own header.tpl, footer.tpl, content.tpl?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Go to your_site_folder/themes/leo_chopin/ and you will find header.tpl, footer.tpl.
You can modify these templates there or make a copy of a theme into another folder and modify it.
All content between header and footer depends on a page controller. All controllers for the front are in a folder your_site_folder/controllers/front/. ProductController.php is for product pages, CategoryController.php is for category pages, IndexController.php is for the home page etc.
You can find more in Prestashop documentation: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Laying+the+Theme's+Foundations.
A client of mine wants to create their ecommerce site with BigCommerce as back-end. BigCommerce has lots of theme's available in their theme store. This client however does not want to be just another website using a certain theme, but have a theme unique to their company. You can build your own theme which would use your own config.php, something they use to set global variables in their templating engine.
However as far as I can read on their developers site the only way that you could create your own theme is if you then start selling it in the theme store, which of course would allow other companies to adopt this same theme against a certain price. Something my client doesnt want. They want to be unique.
So my question is: Can you create a custom bigcommerce theme from scratch, without selling it in the theme store?
Absolutely, however you can set up a config.php file and all that. You can simply start with any theme available in the current theme store, download the HTML, CSS, JS, Image, etc files and customize them to your liking. These are completely open ended.
You won't really miss anything this way, the only thing the config file does is set the default store settings when that theme is applied such as menu depth, fly out menus, display of weight, etc. All that can be adjusted manually by you or your client in the store settings!
So to answer my own question directly: No, you cannot create a theme from scratch without being a parter of bigcommerce and making your theme available in the theme store.
You can get close as #TheEks describes by simply choosing a theme (preferably the blueprint, available when going in to dev mode), and then overwriting whatever contents the html files have. You will need to check for updates to the bigcommerce theme yourself and implement those in your code. You will not be able to remove theme files, if you no longer use them, from the webdav server, only revert them to their original state. You can just ignore them of course.
