New update of SMF (2.0.7) and old mods and theme

I'm wondering about one thing.
I started my adventure with SMF in June 2011 with 2.0 upgrade, and after some time I finally found a good theme for me.
I was upgrading this theme, changing some stuff, make's it better, and better, and I was adding useful mods.
However SMF is still being updated by SMF TEAM, then right now I've got 2.0.7 version, but I'm still using this theme which was "installed" on 2.0
Same with some mods - they were added in the earlier versions of SMF.
Ofc everything works fine, but here comes my question:
Is it fine, that all this time I've got this old theme on my new SMF version? Or maybe I've to download new theme, and mods after every update?

Yes, it's fine! But you should edit your custom theme familiar with default theme (ex: adding some codes in index.template.php, display.template.php...) so that you could get new functions and features!

Ach, thanks :)

Yeah, its like... I edit things in deafult theme too, cause it looks like there's more options to add, and then it works in my custom theme too. I think deafult and custom theme work together - or something like that.

MOst custom themes only change the CSS plus a few template files.

Any template file which is NOT defined byt he custom theme uses the default theme file...   which is why you should never, ever, delete the default theme... even if you make it unavailable for users to use, it needs to be present
