Thoughts about themes maintenance

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi devs,

Themes are a great thing. Now we have 5 of them. The downside is maintenance. We (mostly Sascha, thanks) spend a lot of time on that
for the layered lookups. I wonder if at some point we should not deprecate some of them. For instance, Dropping Crumbs is an
evolution of Blue Light and has also evolued into Tomahawk, should we maintain them all?

Thanks

Jacques

As long as we keep Flat Gray (or the concept behind it).

All of the new new themes are cool and gee whiz and stuff, but as a provider of Global Software, we should keep one theme that is bi-directional and accessible to the sight impaired. That's my opinion anyway.

It would be nice if the Flat Grey theme could get some attention (TLC) as well.

What about a SAS that will possibly have one for each Tenant?
Though from the tenants point of view they would only see the ones
loaded in their DB.
As long as the themes are not broken they can be effectively depreciated
by not selecting them or not loading them by changing the seed data.

I'm afraid that if we no longer maintain them there will be issues.
So I think we should better put them apart, and let them available to users.
We already discussed about that but nothing happenned, maybe it's time now that the 10.0? approaches...
