Hi Frederic, I think it has more to do with the way magnolia is used:
Being a Java-Based system with many advanced features, I think it is used less often by "small sites" which simply pick a "theme" and start inputting content - such sites are more likely to use some of magnolia's simpler PHP-based competitors, esp. since the large hosting companies have such systems preinstalled. Magnolia, (I think) is more often used by slightly larger to very large sites, with a implementation team and "project plan" for the development of the site. Such teams generally might use magnolia in 2 ways: 1. Create their site based on magnolia's powerful STK, by starting with the supplied theme and templates, and incrementally modifying it, especially images and css, until it matches up with their project goals. 2. Create new templates, in either freemarker or JSP, from scratch, based on the XHTML Designs supplied by their web agency. In either scenario, the site can't just be created by picking a theme, as the project has requirements for the design that essentially mean creating a new theme anyway. That's not to say it would not be possible to create a plentiful set of themes for STK - I'm sure that could be done, I'm just not sure how useful it would be.

Is this a sign that it's not so easy to create ? -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=0ed96574-6e80-4d2f-b660-2b7bec5ded7d ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
