No, this is not needed.. it would only take up extra space. Would you remove the /usr/ folder and then expect the system to work? Also as D-livil said.. if something happens you could always reinstall the themes.

This would be good if you had an app.. let's say.. called Theme Maker.. then it would be more logical. But then it would hold a different feature set.

There is no app that lets you remove the /usr folder. And even if there was, I can always flash and restore everything back to normal, except my theme, which I need to customize again.

Not through any UI.

This makes as much sense as saying that an image editor should not have a "save as" option, because then it would be an "image maker".

During uninstall the backups are still kept in case user needs / wants to restore files without using GUI of Theme Customizer.

About that save as -option; something I need to think through... not that impossible to implement (just need to ask user couple of questions; theme name and direcotory to save to), but then he would need to manually go and select that new theme to use after saving the theme with Theme Customizer. But maybe that would work as an option

Which was little what i meant... if someone removes the theme-cistomizer folder. He shouldn't expect it to work. Was just using your example.

True

True... i took it like you wanted it to save it automatically. Realizing now that it could be optional. So if you don't want it to make the extra space it wouldn't.

This only makes sense if the user has the ability to browse and manually select recommended packages. Built in application manager doesn't show recommended dependencies at all (at least I've never seen any) and fapman shows dependencies but doesn't offer the ability to select recommended packages. Don't know if other application managers offer this functionality (I've read that aptitude is available, this app would offer the possibility to select recommended or proposed dependencies but is console-based therefore not a solution for the average user as well as apt-get or dpkg on commandline).

Well, never mind about this. I'll just remove the ttf-droid as depency since it's really NOT absolutely necessary for customizer to work

Saving new theme -function is now working, will upload new version soon

Yep! It will

Edit: it will save everything you currently have in your active theme set up.

Uploaded ver 0.9-30 with just small tuning to opacity changer mechanism. Previously the resulting opacity was relative to original image (ie. if you had almost fully transparent image to start with there was no way to get it zero transparent). So now it first makes the original image fully visible (no transparency) and then reduces the transparency to level user has set with GUI.

This way you really can have widgets that don't have any transparency (can't see wallpaper trough the image) or then fully transparent one or anything in between.
