How to Manage Existing Theme

[billiemead]

Greetings. I am trying to extend a Laravel app where the developer already has built out the theme that ships with the app at resources/views & public folders. My goal is to provide new themes that can be easily installed for the end user. Otherwise I could just create masterTheme directories, move the default theme files and declare it and the new paths. Following is an example of the existing directory structure as the app ships:

resources/views/auth/
resources/views/banners/
resources/views/brands/
etc.

public/css/
public/fonts/
public/frontend/
etc.

Any ideas? Im trying to avoid having to move the default theme so that future updates from the author won't be a nightmare to install. Also, Im somewhat new to Laravel so I might be missing something obvious to more experienced developers :)

Thanks for your solution!
