“Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking;”

Its tough to grasp, I know, but I dont think widgets will end LS as we know it.
They were probably saying that back when OTS was released "Standardising theming!? It will crush creativity" etc etc.

Widgets: Work overtop of any "theme"

That also defines what a theme will be: Basically, the shell.
Its the bottom, the base, the structure that we need to build things upon.


And its not really different to how we have it now:
Today themes are released, with many or just a few features. And if somebody else wants a feature of that theme in their own theme, they look at the code, maybe even copy it directly.

This will still happen IMO, its just that, some features might be made into widgets, saving users copying time etc.

Is that so unforseeable?


I mean, if we want LS to become popular again, this is a surefire way of getting more new users.
Or do we not want more users?

I think I do.
I mean, I am not going to help everyone of them kill windows update, but it would be good to see a thriving community again, like more module coders, themers etc
