The "Old School" theme was designed by me
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-918). Layout was easily
broken in that theme - that was one of the motivators for removing it.
At the time no one objected, and no one stepped forward to maintain it.
Even now - no one is maintaining the Old School theme found in the Wiki.
I understand your frustration, but it is clear there is very little
interest in keeping that theme in the project.

Speaking of themes, I was really upset when the ofbiz developers "yanked"
out the original backend theme for ofbiz designed by Dave. It was
elegantly simplistic and functional, and also many books were written
showing it.
The reasons? Time to move on, time to upgrade, needs a newer polished
look, bla bla bla. All of the newer themes are not as good as the original.
At the time, ALL documentation, ALL examples, ALL books had oldschool as
screenshot examples.
Yes, I know "oldschool" is still available, and I do use it, but it does
demonstrate that the few commiters blatantly make substantial changes (on a
whim) w/o consulting the community or even thinking things through.

Hi,
I updated the https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/
Visual+Themes+-+How+to page, notably for new releases but not only,
please review.
I wonder if we should keep https://cwiki.apache.org/
confluence/display/OFBIZ/Visual+Themes+Gallery which is completly out
dated and seems nobody care about creating and updating themes :/
