However, this made it so much more complex, and adding more themes such a never ending task.. While at the same time making it absolutely impossible for a new-comer to TiddlyWiki to understand the uncounted transclusions (or, for example, automated loading of plugins) for enabling really using 'Changing Themes' as a theme repository - where you could simply have imported one default 'systemTheme' tagged tiddler to have a theme installed in a plain vanilla TW (similiar to TiddlyThemes) As it is now, for importing any one single theme, it would require hours of fail and trial till all tiddlers on which a theme depends would have been identified, followed by more hours work till a systemTheme tiddler would again be self-sufficient and adjusted to default. > Isn't this something for the museum archives/shelves at Osmosoft?? > Or even better - a project to be continued by the community?? > Even for me - one year after it's last update - it takes much effort to understand how and why I implemented certain parts of it, remembering all the incompatibility issues I run into with certain themes.. To have all of this sufficiently documented for others to participate I would never find the time. And more ables than me, who understand it without documentation, much better advance with their own projects.. Therefore, 'Changing Themes' will always remain on the TiddlyWiki museum shelf as a pure showcase TiddlyWiki, since - how many volunteers ever would work on it - it would always be out of date and useless for a new-comer to TiddlyWiki for actually importing a theme, other than maybe learning how certain style changes could be accomplished. > If I can help or contribute in any way - please tell me what to do. > This is a community safety precaution that needs attention!! > Thanks for you kind offer, but what really helps newcomers much more are such theme templates at TiddlyThemes, TiddlyTools', Morris' or Dave's templates, besides many others self containing adaptations. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
