Problems Renaming Genesis Sample Theme

[nihaokitty]

I have downloaded the latest version of both the Genesis Framework and the Genesis Sample theme. Now, I want to give both the directory and the theme a custom name.

I've changed the name in the style.css according to the instructions on various websites and seems to work fine.

As soon as I change the directory name from "genesis-sample" to "custom-name", the style gets damaged. Change the directory name back and everything looks fine.

I feel like I am missing a place in the new child theme that identifies the theme directory.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is no place in the style.css header to change the directory:

/*
	Theme Name: Genesis Sample
	Theme URI: http://www.studiopress.com/
	Description: This is the sample theme created for the Genesis Framework.
	Author: StudioPress
	Author URI: http://www.studiopress.com/

	Version: 2.2.4

	Tags: black, red, white, one-column, two-columns, three-columns, left-sidebar, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready, custom-background, custom-colors, custom-header, custom-menu, featured-images, full-width-template, rtl-language-support, sticky-post, theme-options, threaded-comments, translation-ready

	Template: genesis
	Template Version: 2.2.4

	License: GPL-2.0+
	License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
*/

All you should have to do is rename the directory before you activate the child theme. Functions.php uses the WordPress get_stylesheet_directory() function to pick up the active theme's directory. There's no place to change anything.
