I'm pretty seasoned and used to this but hundreds potentially thousands of people won't be able to make a theme with classic in it and they should be able to.

Nope, not there.

Please listen to the community. We want classic theme as an option and the default theme which is generated. I can't get my head around why after so many years of us saying this that we still don't have this.

the classic theme, for some reason, has never been seen as a valid base theme to extend from. I don't know why because, to me, it often is most of the way where I need to be.

I think you can work around this by changing the parent theme after the kickstart is done.

I've created a new theme using the yo liferay-theme called quest-71-theme within the LIFERAY_HOME/themes folder. Using liferay-ce-portal-7.1.0-ga1. When I launch the gulp kickstart task, I don't see the Classic theme in the list:

HMAP-042-MAC005:quest-71-theme kneibarger$ gulp kickstart

[14:24:49] Using gulpfile ~/Desktop/Liferay/bundles/liferay-ce-portal-7.1.0-ga1/themes/quest-71-theme/gulpfile.js

When I copy the frontend-theme-classic into my themes directory and run the same gulp kickstart I DO see the Classic option in the list of options

/Users/kneibarger/Desktop/Liferay/bundles/liferay-ce-portal-7.1.0-ga1/themes/frontend-theme-classic

HMAP-042-MAC005:frontend-theme-classic kneibarger$ gulp kickstart

  Classic

What's going on here? I want to create a new theme and copy the classic theme into it and then modify from there.. gulp kickstart isn't working consistently.. And why is that 3rd option Classic not showing when running in my new theme as opposed to the frontend-classic-theme??
