When I install the corporate design, which design-catalog is then used?

In the installation process, when I change the details about the site(the corporate), both for frontend and admin, I think it would be best that also the design directories under the design (corporate) get the name I changed to during the installation-process.

Now I got base, corporate, admin and standard directories. Some files are used from standard, and admin, but what is the case about base? Can anyone explain why and what the base-files are for?

It uses <i>design/standard</i>, <i>design/base</i> and <i>design/corporate</i>.

What should be the basis for this name, the title of the site or?

<i>Base</i> contains the basis for the user site, for instance the pagelayout with menus and toolbars.
The custom design folder (e.g. <i>design/corporate</i>) is used to override the base and standard design with your own changes (new class templates for instance)./

Tnx for the explanation.

But, wouldn't two directories be enough? Why couldn't the base-files be put in the corporate-design?

What is logical to me, is that if I want to install the corporate design and use this, I expect to find the standard files under standard(just to give me design for new classes if I don't make an override design), and all the override files for my choice of demo-design(corporate) under the corporate-directory.

3 directories with design for one design-mode is too much I think.
