Anyone opposed to nuking the original MODx theme?
Arguments in favour of nuking:
* Having ran an upgrade to Beta 3, the old theme is broken. No point keeping a broken theme.
* MODxLight is really nice.
* Users can always recreate theme and share it if there’s enough demand for it.
Arguments against nuking:
* All the arguments against are fixable, and would have to be fixed at some point so it may as well be now.
Things That Have To Be Fixed If It Is Nuked:
* Polls Manager module foolishly directly references MODx theme css; there may be other modules that do this. They need fixing.
* Need to make clear to people that old theme is incompatible (an upgrade over the top would probably leave the old theme selectable).
* Need to automatically change people’s preference to MODxLight (if it isn’t MODxGreen) on upgrade.
So I pretty much come down to nuking it. Except that I have a different idea:
Other Idea:
* Instead of upgrading "MODx" template, replace it with a blue & orange version of MODxLight. That way it would vaguely match the old theme without actually being the eto theme. Keep all the new icons and layout, just change the colours in the CSS and the images. This would take far less time to do, presumably, and circumvents many of the issues with dropping a previously default theme.
