So I've been hearing throughout this thread "just edit the theme and
you can get what you want" where what I want is "different main theme
and OSD UIs." If what you say above is true (widgets are shared across
the main and OSD themes) I can't see that there's any way to get what
I currently have and like (ArcLight as main theme and BlackCurve as
OSD) even if I spend a lot of time editing the theme. Instead I'll get
either ArcLight components in my OSD or BlackCurve components in my
main theme.
