It's safe to use the coffee one also with the latest package. It won't change everything in brown with the current version (2.007). I'll redo the background stuff monday (already have a working solution for that).

Edit #2: Coffee variation IS still messing around the media player background :P Well, isn't this what devel is for; toying around and testing stuff.

And about disappearing widgets; I get that too with widgets written in Python, but it won't happen every time which is weird. I need to think how I'll solve that (should I return the old behaviour where you had to go and re-select the theme after setting colors?)...

Edit: maybe I'll do it like they do it in PC world; I'll make it absolutely necessary to reboot after changing settings (last dialog will ask you to restart with yes / cancell -option). That way I don't have to kill the hildon-home on the fly (which causes the python widgets to disappear). That would also make it very clear to end user that he must reboot to make all changes visible. Would you guys find that annoying or could it be kind of midway-sollution?
