[theme-reviewers] Best way of warning people before upgradeing

[Daniel Fenn]

Hey Emil,

Just looking at that picture that you linked to, is that only for plugins or
can it be done on themes as well? That is what I'm looking for :D

In regard to child themes, can that use all the settings from the parent
theme? And can the header.php and footer.php file be completely different
from the parent theme's file?

Regards,
Daniel Fenn
