In reality the poll is not on whether you would like to have different themes or not. The poll is about whether you think the work you are asking from others is a MUST, a SHOULD, a COULD, a task in the BACKLOG or a PROPOSAL. And what tasks the maemo.org team should postpone or demote to handle this one. And who creates and maintains the new templates.

Reggie and Andrew are already busy tuning their themes, timsamoff is tuning the maemo.org newstyle and Niels is full with things like designing a quality assurance community process to promote applications to extras.

Who else? All what these guys are saying is: can someone please go ahead and do it? At the moment Reggie is asking for no more than a mockup discussed and agreed.

If one single person comes back with one single theme that makes the discontents happy, the debate is probably over. So far, after several days of intens bla bla bla from all of us nobody has produced not even a sketch.

My opinion for a shortcut: if it runs at all, making available the default vbulletin theme can't harm. As it is, however fits as provided. Unmaintained.

I think the poll question is clear

Should talk.maemo.org create and support a dark theme like the original ITT?

In REALITY I am asking should talk.maemo.org (the entity) create and support a dark theme.

Not should Reggie do it, Not should Bundyo do it, I don't care who does it Quim, unerstand that. I think however the ownership of the work is on maemo.org. Now whether that is a Must Could Should a task in backlog or proposal, is not up to me. The poll however was clear "SHOULD"

However I think if you want heal the pain the entire change has caused to this community. I would think it's time to start listening to them and stop playing these silly games. Its really getting old.

OK, go to internettablettalk.com

mock up complete.

I personally, just want the color scheme applied to the current theme as an alternate.

However you already know that. You have come to the bug that was filed and said "you think people would be happy just getting rid of the orange text" You say this because you think it, but I show you 50+ people's support and you don't budge. Sometimes Quim, you are as stubborn as GA.

I am told a dark theme doesn't have community support. Now it has community support, and now that support really changed their minds, we don't really no how many people support it Oh and by the way, we don't care if there is support, WE DON'T SUPPORT IT.

It just goes back to where this headed days ago. I guess those on top feel they can change anything how they like, and any response to ask for a change is "fix it yourself" I figure thats how most of IT must work. I know when I give my users something they are not happy with, its no problem, they just fix it themselves.

On top of all this, I was under the assumption that Nokia had provided or was going to provide some mockups for a dark theme. However this information seems to be bogus??

This is a community right? Should I not expect to be able to provide input. Just say so, I will happily go away, but you can't say you want community support and not listen to what the community has to say.
