The app I support does not utilize themes, so I have no opinion about that.

Please note, however. The four supplied themes are just examples. You are encouraged to use any of these supplied themes as a starting point to create your own customized theme under a different name. However, should you go that route, your users may not consider your thematic choices to be aesthetically pleasing, just as you are not impressed with the supplied sample themes. As Chris is fond of saying... food for thought.

After using Themes for a couple of projects, we are just thinking to move away from themes. One by one we hit a road block while implementing what our end users expects [ like differentiating each window by different background color, DDDW to have different background color from the main window etc..]. These two are doable, but have to write lot of lines in json.

Don't know why these settings could be merged with the regular [dw] properties window? It could be lot easier to edit all possible properties at one place, instead of moving around two different places.
