Well in the face of years and years of doing my 'Own Thing'[tm]...what 'could' be called my 'Own-Thing System' [OTS]....I began delving into the 'Official Themeing Standard' [OTS]... and am wondering just how 'S' this 'OT' really is.
I seem to pick up the odd error or two from one theme to another...eg, one person might be 'including' an 'evar.rc', and another a 'themevar.rc' and the results can be less than good.
I was hoping for a brain-dead, idiot-proof system that was 'guaranteed' to be hassle-free, but it's not 'quite'...
Maybe with practise, and built-in redundancy configurations ['Include' statements] to accommodate 'errors', I'll get used to it, but I've found non-OTS themes that were easier to config and have up and running in less time...
Of course, the proof of the pudding will be to config my 'Own System' to integrate seemlessly with the OTS method....
Still, the 2002-05-30 Indie Build seems to be stable...[so far]...
