When customizing a theme in Community Server 2007.1 it is important to do a Find and Replace in the new Theme folder. E.g. If the leanandgreen theme is used as the basis of a new theme, do a Replace of "themes/leanandgreen" with "themes/mysitetheme". Unfortunately, several CS files still has hardcoded theme references which needs to be replaced with the new theme name.
In addition, it is important to edit the DynamicStyles.aspx file in the "style" folder of the new theme. It also contains hardcoded reference to the original theme. If this is not done, any Theme Configuration (from the control panel) will not have any effect on the website.
