Yes. And the layout is done in the extension usually by a html template with
markers, that people can style individually. The normal way.

But both the shop and the blog list entries, both have even and odd rows, both
may have single views. For those common patterns you can define common classes.
Then you can apply a common CSS to get a common look and feel.

That doesn't work for all plugins but for a part of them. More special
extensions need a special treatment.

And then they wait for the result?

The picture of the plastic cap is excellent. That is exactly the point. The most
simplest way possible. KISS in it's extreme. Only CSS and pixel. Let's call it
the plastic caps line. Let's call mere sets of CSS and pixels skins.

That is the way I want to go with the preconfigured packages in the first phase.
As simple as possible. Zen. The simple way is allways the best fundament for
more sophisticated solutions.

If the zengarden line works, we can start with a more sophisticated line. A line
of theme extensions that also contain TS, HTML, CSS, imageas, mayby even PHP.
That needs more work in production and maintaince. It needs more cooperation of
developers and designers.

Yes. Do we need to rename the TER because of this? There are also extensions
that only contain documentation.
