I've been in favour of having "theme" settings wholly controlled by the theme file for a while anyway. It does cost a little configurability (in that there's no good way on-target to change mono-themes to fit different color schemes on color targets) but that problem can be addressed with something like a simple "theme generator" plugin that lets you pick fore and background colors and outputs appropriate files. > 2) can we come up with a workable solution to make the skin buffer > user configurable? > At the very "worst" case wouldn't this simply be an option like the current "max files in folder" options? Maybe something like "Max theme size" with human-friendly options like "small" "medium" "large" and "giant" (with "medium" corresponding to our current settings, small being calculated for a text-heavy but image-free theme, "giant" assuming a backdrop for every screen and twice the current image usage for each screen, and "large" falling somewhere between for example).
