Right, but they aren't going anywhere for at least a year, maybe more. The ideal is "write a web app", but the reality is people will be writing apps targeted to Firefox OS. If Mozilla doesn't want developers using Gaia themes that's cool--but as you say we'll need another one.
To that point, it might help if every app in Gaia didn't share the same theming. If the device came with the notion of different look-and-feel across apps built-in this idea of "don't use Gaia" would be an easier sell as it wouldn't appear as if we had one unifying look and feel either. But as it stands, if I install one app from the Marketplace, it's the black sheep on my phone. - tofumatt | http://tofumatt.com On 2013-08-28, at 1:34 PM, Julien Wajsberg <[email protected]> wrote: > Le 28/08/2013 18:17, Matthew R.
