Ok, I have done that now. There is a fixes/0.27 and a fixes/0.28 branch which 
you can pull from. It would be great if you can add the theme to the theme 
chooser.
How does the theme chooser know there is a new version available. Does it 
periodically pull from the repo and checks the version number in 
themeinfo.xml?

Ciao Jan
