I know we probably talked about this a bit already but I do think we should move to some named themes (certainly starting with Light and Dark but with the possibility for the user to add new ones) but still with the possibility of setting colors in detail in those themes (in a theme definition window I suppose.) I don’t think we should need a third-party application to be able to make a detailed color theme. Maybe other aspects of Theme Manager could be kept there (like wallpapers and fonts), though maybe even some of that should just be pulled into the Appearances preflet.
But I do think the default settings should be kept simple and we should have a few well defined themes and I do also like the idea of an accent color which gets applied where appropriate. Ideally we can make the default case simple without then making the complicated case impossible or overly difficult.
Anyhow this is sort of off-topic for this thread.
