Hi, For 1) this is how it worked initially (at least approximately) but the third checkbox was removed - perhaps someone could speak up and say why it was the wrong solution.
2) this makes sense too - the theme did not exist when I coded things up to start with. Changing the define may indeed provide the expected behaviour (though the E config may need a little tweak). I backed off this a little back when the E dialog changed as I assumed there was a higher purpose that I had failed to understand..? I suspect we are missing a stakeholder from this discussion - anyone want to weigh in?
