The theme folder (not zipped) should be to be available to the Meridix server on a public accessible URL where each individual resouce can be accessed with the uri [ThemeUri]/[ThemePathThemeResourceRelativePath] ex: http://cdn.mycompany.com/Themes/CustomTheme/css/base.css where the http://cdn.mycompany.com/Themes is the ThemeUri part and and CustomTheme is ThemeName and css/base.css is the ThemeResourceRelativePath.
In this case each time a resource is requested by the Meridix UI the system loads the request resource from the ThemeUri/ThemeName URL internally and the caches the resource for future requests.
This way is only recommended during developent because it requiers the Meridix installation to make several HTTP reuqest requests to get the theme content. But its the easiest way to design new themes since you can change the content on server controlled by you and they will be used by the Meridix installation.
