Plan on deprecating old themes

I may have missed this in general, but what is the plan to deprecate themes when people aren't supporting them any longer? We've already got one that we want to do this to - and there will surely be others as we're trying to work out these backend interfaces. Anyways, my vote would be community votes and just removing them - but I'd love to hear what the original intention was and other good ideas out there.

There were differing opinions about them. I suggested having only one
theme in OFBiz, and the other themes could be provided outside the project - by theme providers. David thought it would be good to have several themes in the project in order to demonstrate the theme idea. From my perspective, having more than one theme in the project means that much more code that has to be maintained. As far as I know, no "theme deprecation" plan has been discussed. -Adrian Tim Ruppert wrote: > I may have missed this in general, but what is the plan to deprecate themes when people aren't supporting them any longer?

For several reason, I really appreciate sometimes to have the good old theme (Flat Grey) at hand.
We could keep Flat Grey and the best known at the moment (obviously BiznessTime at the moment). The others would stay at http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/yhQ This would be an easy deprecation policy Jacques From: "Adrian Crum" <[hidden email]> > There were differing opinions about them.

I like the idea of moving deprecated themes to a web page.

I like the idea of keeping 2 themes +1 to this. It shows the support
for themes but also limits the amount of maintenance required. +1 for flatgrey, I fall back to that whenever another theme gives me trouble.

Yeah, I can get behind that for sure. Btw, Jacques, I think we keep the Flat Grey forever - no reason to deprecate that one - just the ones that aren't going to be maintained - of which the original Smooth Feather now stands out.
Anyways, if everyone's cool with that - then we can make a page in Confluence and keep everything there - starting with moving Smooth Feather there.

+1 for keeping flatgrey forever.
I always prefer to work in that because that looks very clear (No strain on eye to read anything, my own view ;o) ) & now I am habitual of using that theme. +1 for sending "Smooth Feather" on confluence page. -- Ashish On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 11:12 PM, Andrew Zeneski < [hidden email]> wrote: > I like the idea of keeping 2 themes +1 to this.

Smooth Feather has been posted to the Visual Themes page and can now be removed by anyone who has rights. I'm not sure where I ever rememthemes is classified, but I'll give it a whirl and will report back.

Apparently I can commit there :) This has been removed and is posted on the page. Thanks to everyone for helping out figure our deprecation path here.

I think we should not bother to have it in the Visual Themes gallery and simply drop and forget it. BizznessTime replaced it and is
apparently the same. Thus we will not end up with an user not aware willing to use it as fundation.

Totally fine by me - I just wanted to put it someplace in case someone wanted it back. Feel free to remove it whenever or leave it. I put a disclaimer up there in the notes, so that could be good enough.

Thinking more about that...
The web page should include a way to contact the theme's author - should a user have questions about it. Looking into the future, if we have a number of people contributing themes, we could get swamped with theme bug reports, requests for new features, etc. It would be nice to direct that traffic to the author. -Adrian Adrian Crum wrote: > At the same time, we don't want to offend the author.

No! Definitely not. Bluelight is quite different from BizznessTime/ SmoothFeather. Let's not get lost in all this... the ONLY reason there was even a discussion about deprecating/removing themes is because the BizznessTime theme was added instead of updating the SmoothFeather theme, even though it is really just a big update to the SmoothFeather theme and so represents a replacement for it. -David On May 7, 2009, at 4:56 PM, Adrian Crum wrote: > Should we do the same for Bluelight? > > -Adrian > > Tim Ruppert wrote: >> Smooth Feather has been posted to the Visual Themes page and can >> now be removed by anyone who has rights.
