Ah, I see.

Your time is obviously more important than the dev or themer that is
indeed going to speed time doing it so you don't have to ?

unbelievable really...

Well, as an "engineer" who obviously knows better, why don't YOU show
us the best way on how to do it.

Mind you, I wholeheartedly agree that a method to easily customised a
theme, and at least be able to easily change a font in a theme to suit
one's need.

But as an engineer and benevolent at that, nothing makes my skin crawl
more than someone displaying such a massive amount of arrogance and
utter disdain from someone's else work and worse putting himself on
top of all that. And coming from a French guy, that says a lot !

All developers participating in mythtv have a life too, and have
limited time on their hands. Be it work, family and "other stuff".

Don't like a theme? modify it yourself or wait for someone to do it.
But don't value your time as more important than anyone else
