[TYPO3-core] Skinning / Theming / ... / Discussion

[Popy]

Hi.

I already thought of that kind of theming implementation (with another
french developer), but we gave up because our main idea was to be able to
put some "page templates" into a single skin, each of them linked with a
backend layout (stored as a file in the skin dir), and the 4.5 backend code
did not provide any elegant way to do that. If current code is better, this
can be a nice addition to your project.

Regards,
Popy
