Who is "you", in this usage?
I didn't read that anyone said such, but maybe I missed some stuff in the
thread (which is a pretty good one, I think, on lots of fronts...even if it
strays a bit here or there from the exact mechanics of this new blue zen
thingy.)
Anyway, I don't think a "theme for each device" is a valid suggestion -- but
perhaps you meant "template" instead, which would be more appropriate.
(Yes, I think calling Drupal themes "themes" is the wrong usage of the word.
A "theme" is a specific kind of "skin". It is a thematic set of elements,
like, for example, a "Spring" theme or any kind of "holiday" theme, or a
"kids at school" theme. A "template" is more like a cookie cutter, or a
framework over which one should be able to apply a "theme". Not worth
quibbling over, I suppose, but it is a kind of growing problem when talking
about such things.)
