* For `static`, `layouts` (templates), and `archetypes` files, these are merged on file level. So the left-most file will be chosen.
The name used in the `theme` definition above must match a folder in `/your-site/themes`, e.g. `/your-site/themes/my-shortcodes`. There are plans to improve on this and get a URL scheme so this can be resolved automatically.
Also note that a component that is part of a theme can have its own configuration file, e.g. `hugo.toml`. There are currently some restrictions to what a theme component can configure:
The same rules apply here: The left-most parameter/menu etc. with the same ID will win. There are some hidden and experimental namespace support in the above, which we will work to improve in the future, but theme authors are encouraged to create their own namespaces to avoid naming conflicts.
[^1]: For themes hosted on the [Hugo Themes Showcase](https://themes.gohugo.io/) components need to be added as git submodules that point to the directory `exampleSite/themes`
