That's where we differ: I would always want to to be able to revert to a stand-alone TW template, which also works in resource deprived situations. As in Internet- shops of 3th world countries with the download speed of a snail. TiddlySpace, where MBs of stylesheets included doesn't seem to matter, thereby encourages just the opposite way. (And the simplest way to revert a theme which also works in standalone TWs is switching to a systemTheme tiddler with all dependencies contained). > ..: simplicity [1] uses my concept and is compatible but different to > it's backend [2], which I named "complexity".

But here I didn't saw any theme or style which by appearance didn't existed already before your invention (without the downside of so many dependencies).

Fair enough. But you just confirmed that there isn't any advantage beyond carefree creation of themes. Excuse my maybe too critical attitude, whereby I really don't want to diminish the value of what you created, and which still may lead to direction where 'free'-style doesn't only mean carefree creation (of themes which already exist anyway..) - but being 'free' from dependencies and easily to adapt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
