<p>I think it is a great idea. The "themes" I do for my systems are almost always an existing theme with some tweaks for personal preference so i copy s theme, rename it something like "Arclite Custom" and fiddle with the xml for things like clock placement, colors, font size, etc. I would absolutely use the inheritance system if implemented.</p>

Yes, that's the part of the patch that I didn't want to delve into<br>
unless there was support for the idea. I'd modify the Theme Chooser<br>
to understand the dependency and install the fallback theme as well.<br>
We'd also probably want something like a fallbackThemeVersion as well<br>
to specify that MyTheme-narrow v1.5 depended on MyTheme-wide v1.5.<br>
<br>
Stuart Morgan has also mentioned adding a field to the themeinfo.xml<br>
file to indicate which version of MythTV a particular theme version<br>
was compatible with. I'd need to handle that as well to make sure<br>
that the theme and it's fallback were compatible with the same version<br>
of MythTV.<br>
