Hi

I can second that. Switching gis theme as default is ok (and afaik that's what most people on the list / poll voted), however it needs a possibility in the options to switch to the classical theme.

Regards,
Marco

Some time ago, devs voted to move to the 'gis' theme as the default, i.e.
not just the one selected by default but also the only theme supported by
the project. Even after this update, you may notice the icons are still
hodge-podge with inconsistent ones needing work. Due to lack of developers
to maintain multiple project-supported themes, it is best to have only
one,
so that a concerted effort can be made to keep it complete and cohesive.

Does mean that we can use themes in QGIS 2.0?
No theme support code was removed, only the gis theme condensed upon the
current default (because many default icons are still used) and old
project
themes removed. However, there has been talk of removing all theme
support,
but I can't speak to the state of that decision.

I like to revive my nkids theme for QGIS 2.0 as option for Mac OS X
QGIS, is this possible?

I'm not entirely sure, but to use a different theme than the default, you
will need to add it to the appropriate source directories, edit the .qrc
files and compile the source again. For example, nkids has been in the
source themes directory for awhile, but not choose-able in the gui because
it is not been made part of compiled-in resource system.

I did add some code to push any old saved theme choice over to the new
default, so if you did add a revamped nkids theme, maybe considering
giving
it a new name as well.
Hi Larry,
it's a total surprise to me, since I thought I was following list
intensivly. I remember voting against gis theme, but majority did choose as
default. That's fine, I'm OK with the vote. But I was thinking having the
choice to switch back to classic theme !
I submitted both themes to users and all of them in my corp wanted to keep
classical one. By myself, I really have visual difficulties with gis theme
(to much blue-grey, very few pixels to distinguish functions, overly
complicated icons..)
Moreover, I must say I've not been able to fund anything for months in QGIS
project due to the lack of visibility. Please think of us and let us see
more clearly where we can help the projects.

Sorry for that message, but these last minute surprises really starts to be
a problem to me.

Régis
