Update worked, but EE still presents familiar CP lavender theme instead of cool new one with green button.

URL & path to themes folder is correct in General Configuration.

Permissions are 755 on themes and cp_themes.

Only the selection “Default” is available for Choose Control Panel Theme in My Account. Ditto in Control Panel Settings.

I note, as has been observed elsewhere, that the updating instructions do not tell you to copy the themes folder from the download to the site being updated.

That seems odd because the cp_themes folder in the download contains two folders, “classic” and “default”, while the site only contains “default”.

Huh- well, there are version notes for 1.6.0- and they’ll tell you about the theme changes and the fact you need to upload to the themes folder- see here.  BUT- I can’t find them linked where the rest of the version notes are in the version specific notes list on upgrading.  So- I’ll drop a line to the crew, see if we can get that linked in so folks won’t be left wondering.

(And now- the old cp is the ‘classic’ theme and the 31Three one used here is the default one.  So once you replace files- you should be seeing the 31Three version as it’s ‘default’.)

You sure Robin?  Step 5:

This is one of those weird things where it’s some funky cache issue that only happens to me, isn’t it?

Yep, I believe so, as it’s definitely there, in both locations.  We wouldn’t release without a changelog. :-D
