I heard that only some themes can have a subtheme. Is this true?

And, you may want to consider renaming or rephrasing this question because the answer to the title is YES but the answer to the content is NO.– JimajammaFeb 10, 2014 at 15:40

I would prefer changing title, as my answer starts with NO ;)– MołotFeb 10, 2014 at 15:49

No, of course it isn't true. All themes can be subthemed. Subtheming is a part of Drupal's core and themes cannot simply turn it down. You can always create a theme, name it's parent theme and override some CSS.
Fun starts when you want to override things from template.php, or if parent theme provides advanced configuration - not all themes are built in a way that makes subtheming easy. But even if it's not easy, it's not really blocked.

I was searching and i found some comments on templates that saying if the can have a subtheme and was answer as you can't make a subtheme with this template. This wasn't clear for me and i need it some help clear that out. Thank you again. Feb 10, 2014 at 15:44

1@Drupalizeme if theme author discourages subtheming or publish it with a licence that says you can't subtheme, then you probably shouldn't try as it may be a wasted effort (or legal problems). But it's still possible.– MołotFeb 10, 2014 at 15:48
