I'll miss the glass-wide theme for sure. Maybe at some point (though
I can't imagine it happening any time soon) I'll see what I can learn
about the new ui themes and see if I can take a stab at it.
However, one thing always confused me regarding theme development and
testing: How does someone do this if they're not running all the
various plugins? I don't use anything but mythvideo and have no
intention of running anything more. Is it even possible under those
circumstances? I'd think it wouldn't be.
