Hrm - I always thought the recommended behavior, Drupal and otherwise, was to copy the theme into a new directory and modify as needed. This was difficult with xtemplate, but not so much with phptemplate. Can we get away from this paradigm? "You have modified the bluemarine theme. This is generally unrecommended - consider reading this handbook page instead on how to properly theme Drupal." ? Yeah. that was until the regions hook was introduced.
People are littering themes with mytheme_regions() now, which means copying them kills the regions hook. That is if they are not already themes to begin with. I sincerely believe that themes should not have their own namespaces, which is what the phptemplate_ namespace kind of of gets at. By introducing functions for the meta info, it becomes unusable for themes. -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com
