Thanks for the confirmation.

That's what I tried half year ago and that's probably why given up
then.

Now, by eliminating piece by piece from the sheets - without having
even changed the look of the theme yet - already about 80% of
TiddlySpace, EmasticSystem, Neui-em sheets have been deleted and the
whole becomes much more compact and workable.

However, theme and style wasn't really the main concern of this
thread. Anyhow, since we went off already:

Trying to adapt this free-style dependent theme gave me a real bad
aftertaste about the whole free-style and emastic concept, which
seemed a real invention when I first heard of it too. And it might
really be an aid to someone wanting to create an extraordinary theme
without having much knowledge about TW specific style definitions. But
now I can't see any reason beyond for using it.

It's 90% pure bloat and thereby loses any efficiency. For one like my,
who never formally learned anything about CSS but still was able to
learn (by doing) to adapt any TW style (see http://change.tiddlyspot.com/)
this turned out the most difficult to work with because it's departure
from usual simple TW styles. Obviously, for me efficiency and easy
adaptability has much more value.

Since you created the 'free'-style system, Mario, and because I'm less
able grasp its advantages to the usual ways of TW themes, what are for
you the reasons for using it at all, beyond ease of creating
extraordinary themes on the fly?
