A:      
You should use the version of the SDK that matches your Liferay version you're targeting - 6.0 SDK for Liferay 6.0, the 6.1 SDK for 6.1...

Q:        but is it possible that if I create a theme in liferay 6.0 env and i deploy that theme in liferay6.1???
that theme can work in liferay6.1????

A:

yes. Simply change the version number in [theme dir]/docrrot/WEB-INF/liferay-look-and-feel.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE look-and-feel PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Look and Feel 6.1.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-look-and-feel_6_1_0.dtd">
<look-and-feel>
    <compatibility>
        <version>6.1.0+</version>
    </compatibility>
    <theme id="myThemeId" name="myThemeId" />
</look-and-feel>

Make sure that the theme is selected in the page(s) you want to apply it.

Are you sure you're using 6.1.0 SDK and deploying it on Liferay 6.0.x?

6.1.0 SDK should create a liferay-look-and-feel.xml containing the content below, which implies it'll work on version 6.1.0 or higher.
Thus, it shouldn't deploy properly on Liferay 6.0.x.
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.1.0+</version>
</compatibility>

To deploy theme developed with 6.1.0 SDK on Liferay 6.0.x, just change the version to 6.0.0+
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.0.0+</version>
</compatibility> Are you sure you're using 6.1.0 SDK and deploying it on Liferay 6.0.x?

thanks for reply...... you are right
I just checked liferay-look-and-feel.xml
it create
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.0.0+</version>
</compatibility>

so if I want to deploy this theme in 6.1.0 then i need to change it in

this
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.1.0+</version>
</compatibility>

am i right??????
