I believe what you say because I've seen it before myself, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out why someone would say such a thing. If you really stop and look at the architecture of a XOOPS theme, it's nothing more than a one page static layout with a little bit of Smarty code in it. Heck, most of the Smarty code is in the META tags and header! The *hardest* part about a XOOPS theme is the CSS. And quite frankly, a LOT of the CSS can be reused, much like the basic HTML layout. But I digress...

alitan,

I really think this is an excellent idea! I wish I had more time available so I could join the team. Most of my themes have been traditional layouts, and certainly not my best work, but there's something about this situation that really makes me want to show ignorant people exactly how flexible a XOOPS theme is! The ONLY thing that stops me from releasing a lot of the ideas I come up with is that the average end user might throw a fit trying to figure out why "x" block is in "y" position instead of "x" position.

Anyways, there are a ton of great designers here at XOOPS, as I'm sure you know, and I really hope some of them step up and show the world how awesome a XOOPS site can look.

Best Regards,

James
