I've got what might be a niche UseCase & related need -but who knows,
there's usually others out there with needs not so different, as it happens.
Case is essentially this: I came upon Notebook theme (thanks to @Nico for
that) as a solution to the problem of having a minimalist theme for mobile
use -via Quine2 app on iPhone in my case- and for such use, the mobile
should serve strictly as a productivity tool to support GTD workflow... And
this workflow involves focusing primarily on the Projectify UI, with all
other distractions filtered out.
So I've set up MyDashboard tiddler in Projectify to be the sole Default
Tiddler that opens on startup or Home, and that puts everything i need
(Inbox, Projects and Schedule for today & upcoming) right where i want,
with essentially nothing else (in Notebook theme) but Toolbar and Search
widget to distract. Perfect for mobile GTD!
Problem is: My TiddlyDesktop UI is a more complex thing (2 column-display
w/ Contents outline is essential) built upon a different theme... And the
nature of my work has me making abrupt transitions between desktop and
mobile modalities, which results in my opening up a tool very often with
the wrong UI for that particular modality.
SO: What's needed is a theme-switching affordance that is as agile as the
context-switching dynamic of my work/life-style. Drilling down thru
Control Panel / Appearance tab/ Theme menu/ Theme select is a PITA on
desktop, and an absolute non-starter on mobile. Ideally, i would have a
one-click way to switch from one theme to the other, ideally via nice fat
toolbar button.
I don't know enough to be sure, but i'm guessing this would involve some
tweak in the theme, which could either be a built-in affordance (if there's
enough people besides just me that wants), or else something i could
implement in a clone of the theme (? i know how to clone a Palette & have
done, but i don't know if the same works for themes) that i might easily
maintain.
Am i barking up the right tree here? and if so, can anyone offer a boost?
:-)
