The main problem is that your theme contains redundant files (and sections within those files). Remember, everything is inherited from "default" and your theme should only contain the files that you have modified.

For example, why include the German messages if you haven't changed it? And, even if you change some messages, your theme should only contain the modified strings. The same applies to template files, images, etc.


Right, I didn't know how much I can rely on the 'missing stuff replaced by default theme' because the first time I edited a skin, I changed the default one and didn't notice that functionality and was later surprised by it. And I just forgot. Smile

I want to preserve the template files' structure (regarding template names and included {MSG: } which I just put into <!-- --> when not used etc), so that when the skin is done it might be easy to add stuff that I might not implement (for example I don't know if I will support tree view in the theme).

The language files I probably can remove, but I need the full english/msg file, because I use it to navigate in template files Smile for example if I want to know where "My Messages:" is in a template file, I search the string in the msg file and then search in the template for the {MSG: variable_name}
