I was updating a theme which someone had created for 1.0 to 1.1 and was hit by a slightly annoying problem.

This commit introduced the views .configure css definition, and if thats not defined in your custom theme you are likely to get a greyed out page with no usable controls when configuring a block on a view.

Took me a bit of time to track it down, so hope that pointing it out helps others.

Dan - the theme you were updating, did it use the default theme as a parent theme or did it have no default?

In theory, if it used the default as a parent, then the definition should have been included anyway.

Hrm, it didn't use default as parent.

However I just tested by doing that and it didn't seem to help. Setting the parent is just a case of doing

$theme->parent = 'default';

In the themes config.php, right?
