For a custom "new theme" you have to create an overall_header_custom.tpl and overall_footer_custom.tpl, then make sure the folders for the custom theme don't have the same name as other themes.
Then rename the style_custom.css to match the theme and edit the url paths etc, then add a custom.cfg for the theme, or edit mg_themes.cfg if you are going to nest the theme, and also edit the xs.cfg and add the custom theme info to that for LoFi.
Then you will need to create a custom theme_info.cfg (or edit for nested themes /mg_themes/theme_info.cfg)
And for an IP theme-novice, this is no doubt pretty confusing.
Maybe you are better off patching black pearl at this time and use the img fix I posted if you have the same problems -- -- because when and if you upgrade to v1.3 (which should be released soon) you are going to have to learn a whole new way of doing it again, as ipv27 themes are not compatible with v1.3.
But! if you are going to continue with trying to create a custom theme for v27, then the first thing you need to decide is whether you want to nest it with mg_themes or make a stand-alone theme. Only then can explicit instructions be given on how to create it and get it to work.
