>>> Yes I already reported that please see
>>> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2398
>>>
>>> Maybe it's better to inform you that this theme was initially designed by
>>> Erik Schuessler from BrainFood and then implemented by
>>> Ryan Foster (mostly?) at HotWax Media. BTW this information may be found at
>>> the bottom right of http://ofbiz.apache.org/
>>> So, for now, we mostly rely on their skills for this kind of things, even if
>>> everybody helps here and there. This was done in order
>>> to have a more attractive UI for release 9.04. And we are all (at least I)
>>> thankful for that!
>>>
>>> This theme was also applied to the wiki, there were issue also in
>>> Confluence, but we consider now that they are all resolved (you
>>> may find issues in Jira by looking for Confluence for OFBiz project, check
>>> comments)
>>>
>>> The theme feature on both sides (back and front ends) was introduced by
>>> Bruno Busco and enhanced by the team since then.
>>>
>>> Unfortunatley a such effort was no done for the eCommerce, only Bruno gave a
>>> theme wich is not complete yet. I think the meain
>>> reason is that most of the time, companies with enough means prefer to build
>>> their own design. And nobody has contributed a theme
>>> because, apart small companies which keep the original design and adapt it,
>>> most of the time the design is totally new and unique.
>>>
>>> Thanks for you help
