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

[Kay Strobach]

Hi guys,

i renamed the extension to themes and will do some refactoring now.

	Stable Features:
		- theme selection (with tsconfig, ts, tsconstants)
		- theme display on template information page

One question is still mandatory - which CE Extension should be used to
ship the default content elements, what is the coreteam prefered way?
There must be an alternative answer except the phrase "templavoila sucks".

	- fedext
	- gridelements
	- dce
	- native FLUID based Plugins :(

Regards
Kay
