Recently I was doing some integrations on a non-standard/non-official prestashop 1.6 theme.
I found out after some manipulation on the Back-Office that the cart module doesn't appear on the Front-Office.
The cart module is enabled and is hooked to the displayNav and displayTop hooks.
It seems that cart module doesn't render any of its view code even when the "Disable module ovverides" is disabled.
The last and the only thing I've manipulated on the BO config is activating and then deactivating the "Force update friendly url".
Note that the current theme in based on an old theme and was made by an intern that didn't respect the official doc at all. What I mean by that is that you can find inline CSS and Javascript isnide a tpl file with no repsect of the smarty template engine syntax.
The current theme doesn't support many of the hooks that the default and basic prestashop theme offers.
I envisionned the following solution :
Read the 1.6 PS doc and make corrections on the theme. If the number of bugs, problems and mis-uses is not huge.
Rewrite the theme from groung zero in the worst case
After one day of lookin up answers on the web I found out that the catalog mode was off which makes the cart block disapears on the front-office.

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
backoffice.cockpitng.loginpage.css=/cng/css/loginpage_whitelabel.css
backoffice.cockpitng.overridewidgetsandeditors.css=/cng/css/customWidgetsAndEditors.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.
By default, pagination in PrestaShop is available in every product page (displaying up to 10 items per page).
But according to my project requirements, I need a lazy loading page (only 10 products need to displayed before trying to scroll down the page). Does PrestaShop have this feature ?
This is not possible by default.
You have to create your own module or buy/use available product like:

Infinite Scroll for Prestashop
3. Answer by thepsyntist from https://www.prestashop.com/forums/
[...] I successfully implemented an infinite scroll module on
Prestashop 1.6.0.11 (A custom theme) and 1.6.1.0 (Default theme). I
found this module on GitHub a couple of months ago and finally today I
got success implementing it. Hence I have no direct link for it or
know who created it. Link to the module.
If you'd like to load images the same way, there is one another module.
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.
