Magento 2 Design Theme tab is missing

Hi, I am trying magento 2 and struggling to install the new theme. Because Design Theme is not showing under Stores > Configuration > Design.
It has been moved to Content/Design/Configuration
Yes It has been moved to Content/Design/Configuration.
check screenshot for more clarification
Then you can select specific store if you have multi store. click edit action and in new window you can find search engine robots setting.
In Magento 2.0.x, you can configure the theme in Stores > Configuration > Design.
However, from Magento 2.1.x, this configuration is relocated in Content > Design > Configuration. Edit the theme currently in used, and select the newly installed theme.

Opencart 2.2 - new custome theme not available in the admin panel

I just followed this tutorial to create a custom new theme for my localhost opencart 2.2 installation. I followed the following instructions from the tutorial :
Let's create a new directory, named mycustomtheme underneath catalog/view/theme. ..... Furthermore, you need to create three more directories within the mycustomtheme directory: image, stylesheet, and templates.
Then I navigated to Admin->System->Settings and clicked on the 'Edit' button of the default store and in the subsequent page expected to get the custom theme in the 'Theme' dropdown but only the 'Default Store theme ' was there.
The tutorial tells that I am supposed to get a 'Template' dropdown there and I found a 'Theme' dropdown instead due to version change I think.
But how to activate the new theme then ?
To change a theme on Opencart 2.2.0.0, follow below setting:
Login to admin panel.
Go to Extension > Themes > Edit
Select your theme for Theme Directory option
Click on save to activate your new theme.
In opencart 2.2 you need to go into the Admin->Extensions->Themes
I know it's bit late to answer but it can be helpful to others.

Magento new theme with default data

I have installed Magento CE 1.9.1.0 with sample data. I have copied the default theme of interface rwd and rename it as test theme. Update the package and theme from the admin panel and Save the same. But when refresh the front panel from browser no data will be displayed including images etc. Please help me to know what are the tricks behind the same.
Why data is lost while new theme has been activated?
How to see the sample data?
What are the files am I need to configure more?
you want to Customize RWD theme.in your rwd package you can make a new theme like
design/frontend/rwd/yourtheme and start copying the files which you want to customize in yourtheme.
copy files from design/frontend/rwd/default to design/frontend/rwd/yourtheme and start customization.
and also check this link too
If my understanding is right, you already create your own theme package and set it in the System > Configuration > Design (and correctly followed the magento fallback system) Link
Next, if your working on locally, make sure to set the cache as disabled. Navigate to System > Cache management and select all, refresh and then disabled it.

how to install a downloaded theme to magento?

I am using magento 1.8. I downloaded a theme,
http://www.templatemela.com/new-style-magento-theme.html
Now I have the theme zip file. I searched over the internet but I couldn’t find any solution. I replaced the folders app, js, skin of magento root folder with the folders from theme folder. After that to activate the theme I open the admn dashboard I got an error,
The page isn't redirecting properly
Which is the correct way to install a new theme to magento?
Any one provide the step by step installation.
After you install the theme, go to System -> Configuration -> Design.
For the Themes section, set everything to modern, since that’s the name of the theme.
The theme will now be applied.
If you’re running the default install, you can make the front page look how the demo store on here does. For that you’ll need to update the CMS blocks, so go to CMS -> Manage Pages. Click on the Home Page.
You’ll be in the General Information section. Under Content, put the following:
{{block type="core/template" template="sample/home.phtml"}}
You can either comment out what’s already there, or just remove it completely.
Then you need to go to Custom Design and set the Layout to 1 column.
That’s it! Hope It will help you.

Magento: Multi-column dropdown menu

I'm using Magento CE 1.6.
Briefly: I found exactly what I'm looking for here, but it seems like it doesn't work for Magento version 1.6; it's unzipped in the Magento catalog and enabled in the administration panel, but the menu doesn't change at all.
If there's no solution for this extension, is there any free alternative?
Thank you in advance!
Solution found: Ensure that the files in the extension goes to the "base" package catalogs; otherwise it will only affect the "default" package.
