How to add theme settings to Zen-based themes?

Question

I'm trying to place my own theme settings into a drupal subtheme. i've used the forms API in theme-settings.php but they are not showing up in admin/build/themes/settings/$mytheme. my theme-settings.php is uploaded here in case you'd like to see it. what it does is choose vocabularies for categories and tags, making it easier to port wordpress blogs to drupal.

Answer 1

so, the thing seems to be in mytheme.info it seems i need to place a default value here in order to have the settings saved. but i guess it doesn't make any sense.
