How about one single theme section in downloads?

[bsving]

The themes are spread out in at least two sections in the download compartment, "system" and one other. How about putting them in one single section, or better still, a separate theme section?

[stlpaul]

Agree wholeheartedly.

Very good Idea. Will it happen, No.

[Exact]

+1 For the great idea!

[inidrog]

Nokia had no idea that ONE person would produce loads of great themes. You can see what I am talking about allso in the OVI store: Applications (most cwapp) / Games (not to bad) / Cwapp / Utterly cwapp

We had it in Diablo (and probably before). It'll take some nudging, but I think it's doable, albeit time consuming.

Hopefully we will get a theme category in the Application Manager some time soon.

Isn't it simply a matter of adding user/themes as a section in the control file of each theme package?

It should all go under desktop along with widgets and other UI customisations.

[aspidites]

I only meant as a way to have them all in their own category, not the logical place for them assuming we follow standards :-P

I imagine the repos would also have to be modified to recognize such a section, considering the package will be blacklisted otherwise (ie not show up in HAM)

Actually according to this page (http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing#Sections), themes are supposed to be in System, but I agree with the OP that a dedicated Themes section would make more sense.

In System you say? why? maybe because when we install and apply new theme we need to restart because hildon crashes :D
