Hi, Since adding back the old default as a 'classic' theme choice is fairly straightforward, only taking about an hour to do, I suggest the following: It isn't done for a couple of weeks.
Here's my reasoning. If we are all looking at only the new default theme and helping develop that into a complete and cohesive look for 2.0, then those who are working on it will benefit greatly by the entire dev community's focus. I also think Robert's and other's reworking of the default icon set to address color and useability concerns needs the full focus and support of the community for it to have a good chance at success. If right before GUI freeze (~ 2 weeks), the new theme is assessed and there is still a consensus, or maybe a vote, that there should be a second project-supported choice, then the 'classic' theme can readily be put back in. Please let me know what you think of that approach. Regards, Larry On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 2:18 AM, Nathan Woodrow <madman...@gmail.com> wrote: > Don't be sorry, everyone's opinion should be heard.
