Changing 'Newspaper' name

I was wondering if we can change the name of the theme, with no issues, and if yes, how to do it?
We dont want to have our clients informed about which theme we used on their websites.

Hi,
Unfortunately this is no easy task as there are mentions of the theme name in many parts of the code and some code strings actually depend on the theme name to detect the case in wich to apply certain parts of code.
You can try to do a search and replace with a text editor (example: notepad++ is a free and very capable one) and search for the word: newspaper. It will retreive 762 results in the theme files: http://screencast.com/t/5r2ReUguLlTO but you have to be careful where you change the name as our demos need to be pulled from the server and the name newspaper also appears in the code from where the demos need to be imported: http://screencast.com/t/VaAcA0zft
It can be done except for the url’s but it will take a bit of time.
Thank you!

I see.

Unfortunately, this is a task that will be needed to be done upon every update – as far as I can understand.

Unfortunately yes. If there is no setting for your request and it has to be made custom, you have to do it on every update. There is no update proof way of customizing the theme files unfortunately.
Thank you!
