I can understand the perspective that one is still running the same version of E, upgrades EFL and now they have a new theme/look to E. That said, I think the same applies to GTK, Qt and likely others. Those have to be themed for any application. I do not run Gnome, so do I not get a theme from GTK? Or since I do not run KDE no theme for Qt? Those still have some default them that comes from within the toolkit. We think of themes as belong to the desktop, UI, but they really belong to the toolkit. I think most tend to try to coordinate a new theme with a new desktop UI release as to not surprise users. Maybe a new release of E would help there. New major version at same time as EFL, and then no surprise. Are you all planning to keep the current theme available? Or is the flat theme replacing that, such that one cannot switch? If the current theme can remain as is, with the flat theme being a new default. Then that would ease the problem of anyone running the current theme. That would not switch per their settings. Well maybe the default would switch, but they could switch back to the old theme if they liked. Likely easiest to just do a new release of E along with EFL. Then its not a surprised and people should expect changes. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
