Since someone suggested a possible change for the next DR16 release would be to shrink the package size I poked around. BrusedMetal is big, 3.7M big. The current package contains 4 themes, BrushedMetal (3.7M), ShinyMetal (1.2M), BlueSteel (650K), and Ganymede (2.4M).
No offense to Christian, but lose Ganymede, IMO. Maybe ShinyMetal too, but leave BrushedMetal-Tigert by all means. With that, *why* is it sooo big ?? I know it includes sound, so maybe consider dropping that part. Do many people use sound events ? Personally, I find them annoying, but that's just me.
Make the dropped themes available from E's website, in various formats, too, NOT at themes.freshmeat.net. There could even be a BrushedMetal-Tigert-Sounds add-on.
The other killer is dox, the pretty spiffy oh so awsome help system that most people look at once and then never again. This is arguable, but I'd imagine that being as DR16 is pretty well understood, we won't get many first time users, and the fact that most new users probly don't read any of it anyway... not to mention the fact that you still have tooltips, we can just dump dox which accounts for another 2.5M.
If you take Edox out completely, then remove the default themes and then add in just 23oz and Axios you get a compressed tarball (tgz) at 2.4M instead of the current 12M.
Same as above, make the help system a additional download. Change the existing built-in help to point to E's website where the dox help can be published instead.
