The general idea is to have pluggable visual themes. The first choice
was to have the themes kept in the hot-deploy folder - so that
downloaded themes could be added automatically. Later, the themes
folder
was created specifically for this purpose, but the behavior is the
same
as hot-deploy - just drop your downloaded theme into the folder and
it
will be added automatically.
Agree but why not in the framework Don't see any reason. so if the
Framework is used now you have to remember to pull along a separate
folder
I guess if you don't see it you may not be looking hard enough...
The point is to have something external to the framework so that
different people can work on it, and so LOTS of people can work on and
refine themes without having to be framework developers. Over time
this should not only give options but significantly improve the
appearance and usability of the UI of OFBiz.
It is all about lowering the bar for contributions. It is separate
from the framework and doesn't require framework development to get
involved with.
