[Phpwebsite-developers] Theme system thoughts...

[Jason C. <cam...@xp...>]

Has anyone thought about modifying any part of the theme system as it 
stands now?  Is anyone working on modifying any part?  

I've been looking at it and trying to get my new block code setup in the 
themes by adding a function and having to add that function to every single 
theme is flat out stupid :).  

I've been thinking of new ways of doing themes and the only one that makes 
a little sense would be to move all the functions out of the theme.php file 
and make a new file called functions.php in the main installation 
directory.  In functions.php you'd have like the functions themesidebox, 
etc etc.  In a new file called layout.php for each theme would be the HTML 
code for the functions in functions.php assigned to variables.  You'd just 
use the correct variable to make the box.  This seems to work good for what 
I'm trying to do with the boxes but overall I'm not too sure.

I still haven't totally thought about how to go about changing the themes 
but this was one idea.  I HATE having functions for each theme it just 
doesn't make sense to me :)
