Team Thanked: 188 mal	Is is themes or skins? Frankly, a skin sounds too informal to me while theme is a common term for a set of templates aka Cotonti/Seditio skin. Cotonti/Seditio theme is basically a (color) scheme. Opinions? SED.by - создание сайтов, разработка плагинов и тем для Котонти

Team Thanked: 188 mal	Wikipedia: In computing, a theme is a preset package containing graphical appearance details, used to customize the look and feel of (typically) an operating system, widget set or window manager. Graphics themes for individual applications are often referred to as skins, and the words are often used equivalently, the primary difference being one of scope. But there's one really nice thing about themes: http://www.google.com/search?hl=ru&source=hp&q=theme vs. http://www.google.com/search?hl=ru&source=hp&q=skin SED.by - создание сайтов, разработка плагинов и тем для Котонти

Administrators Thanked: 263 mal	I think we will call them Themes since Siena, because it is more correct and is better for marketing. May the Source be with you!
