Theme repair team wanted.
mmadia:
A new thread is created to help track Theme status.

In my opinion a wiki page would be better to track theme status. It would be easier to update it to reflect the theme status. Moreover it would provide a cleaner look and it would be easier for the users to look up the theme status too.
The other day I was thinking about the themes in the graveyard. Is it okay to list necessary changes alongside each theme (when ever possible) to fix them? I guess we won't have to worry about any licensing issues either.
What do you guys think?
Llorean:
Listing necessary changes should be okay if it's just something like "replace line 47 with (blah)."
While it should be okay to include small quotes, there's no real reason to do it, so avoiding reproducing any content from the improperly licensed theme is best.

True .
I am the one who suggested starting a thread for it, so scold me.
Though, I'd rather spend the time to get this done than to make a wiki page. Wiki is for permanent info, this (hopefully) is transitory.

I see no problem whatsoever in telling people how to fix graveyard themes, even of posting said repair instructions in the wiki.
That being said, the wiki galleries are going bye bye soon when the official theme site goes live. The graveyards I think can be left behind, but I would rather concentrate efforts on getting the gallery themes up and running.

I'm fixing a theme right now and am facing some troubles:
Someone used %?Cf (!sic) and %?Ct as some crossfade indicators, but i can't find anything about these tags in the wiki. The first time crossfade tags were introduced were in revision 52 of the wiki page, but since then, the use of the mentioned tags never comes up. Any idea what these mean?
here's an excerpt of the code (i left out the imageloading):
--- Code: ---%?Cf<%xds|%?ps<%?Ct<%xdt|%xdu>|%xds>|%?Ct<%xdt|%xdu>>
--- End code ---
PS: another thing: has the image buffer been reduced in size on some targets? Because i got a theme to work only after disabling some images. i assume that when the theme was coded it has been working, so has there been any change regarding that? How big can the images for the wps be, what are the restrictions?
