I want to customize WordPress, but I don't want to ruin WordPress default theme 1.6 by Michael Heilemann. What I can is duplicating the theme folder. My new theme name will be "Imized". I copy the whole folder default in wp-content/themes and paste to newly create folder named imized. That is not enough. I won't see "Imized" theme in Available Theme section. What did I miss?

More one step, which is editing the comment inside style.css:

/* Theme Name: WordPress Default Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/ Description: The default WordPress theme based on the famous <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/">Kubrick</a>. Version: 1.6 Author: Michael Heilemann Author URI: http://binarybonsai.com/ Kubrick v1.5 http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/ This theme was designed and built by Michael Heilemann, whose blog you will find at http://binarybonsai.com/ The CSS, XHTML and design is released under GPL: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php */

The theme won't be display if the name is the same. After previewing my new theme "Imized" in Available Theme section, I click Activate Imized to activate my duplicate theme.
