well, i've done that before i think and usually you just come up with crap themes that people make like 10 editions of of different colors. and most of the best artists use more original names for their themes that don't include the color. in fact i don't think any theme i have includes the color in the name.

I think that is in the works...maybe


Yes, the best artists use more original names...Vanilla Ice

oh and you should be able to set primary and seconday colors, cause like my cursor theme is silver with blue whereas everything else is blue with silver.

IMHO, one fairly large obstacle to your suggestion would be to come up with a practical way to implement it. Colors can be difficult to categorize, and as you implied in your last post, there is the issue of secondary, tertiary, perhaps even more colors in a single theme to deal with. And what do you do about compound colors such as blacks, grays, silvers, browns and metallics, not to mention gradient fills?

This is further complicated by the effects used beyond just hue or chroma such as saturation, brightness, filters and lighting effects. As just one "simple" example, the color RGB (255, 0, 255) is referred to often in this forum as magic pink, but other standard pallets including Microsoft's and Adobe's refer to it as fuscia or magenta. Do you place it with the reds? the violets? make a pink category? What if it's just a little off this color? (As it would have to be not to be interpreted by WB as invisible...lol)

Then there is the issue of compound skins and colorpacks to deal with as well. Add to that the complexity and diversity of components offered in the various libraries, and categorizing them. How do you propose to deal with walls for example? Or multicolored elements like icon packages? And to make this all work, someone has to go back and create or modify a database of the existing libraries as well as provide a mechanism for categorizing new submissions.

In the abstract, I think it would be nice to have this too. I just don't think it's practical.

oh and as for the backlog of themes, you should never not advance something forward because it leaves old things behind. but if it was really wanted you could have an option for users to classify old themes they see, or for authors to set those themselves.
