Can you verify that milkyway.css is in your styles/ directory? Showing up in the list of themes just depends on the stylesheet file being in place. The update from 6 to 7 involves mainly the site-header items: logo, site title, top menu, search and login forms, etc. These no longer use theme-specific template (.tpl) files; they use modules instead. In the case of Milky Way, there is also a custom module described in the readme file that's part of the theme package.

I merely copied the MILKYWAY.CSS file and MILKYWAY directory from my v6 instance of tiki.

README file and THEME PACKAGE? If there are milkyway specific files I have not found them.

Ah, sorry, I made some incorrect assumptions. There are Tiki 7 files for Milky Way at http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki/mods/trunk/themes/milkyway_tiki_7/?view=tar. I'm in the process of updating http://themes.tiki.org/Milkyway to add the download link there. There is a considerable difference in the files in the Tiki 6 and 7 versions.

I thought I had put a readme file in the theme package, but it seems I haven't. (I updated a number of themes recently and didn't keep everything straight.) There is a package info file that is used when you install a theme using the Mods Admin feature, and this file contains the module assignment information (which displays on tiki-mods.php), but I'll add the information to a readme file in the download package and to http://themes.tiki.org/Milkyway.

By the way, it seems the themes site isn't up to date with the new theme files, so many themes aren't displaying correctly there yet.
