    Do we have a plugin that allows admin to modify other theme via admin cpanel? I don’t want to put my blog offline and then activate the theme that i’m going to modify.

    you could try setting up a local installation of wordpress to use as a testbed.
    install this
    https://www.wampserver.com/en
    then install wordpress into your local working directory

    after you’ve got the theme looking how you want, upload it to your live site and activate it.

    Is that just for windows, or can OS X 10.4.x use it also?

    wamp stands for windows / apache / mysql / PHP

    I know theres something similar called lamp the difference being Linux.

    I’m not sure if there’s an all in one package for osx, however that said the reason I suggested using wampserver is that it’s a pretty painless way to get the 3 packages installed on a test rig.

    That said it’s not that much harder to install the packages seperatly, which is what I usually do as it makes upgrading easier.

    You’ll need to install Apache, PHP, MySQL for sure and then it’s nice to have phpmyadmin installed as well. do some googling and see what you come up with.
