To be fair they have enabled skinning in Viewer 2.6.0, and I am taking
advantage
of that - thanks guys :).
The odd thing for me is that 2.6 is using two separate settings files which
makes it a bit messier for those of us doing mods. I can see why it has been
done that way - so that various features are changed/disabled. It would have
been cleaner to have modal checks in the code (or even better have 'basic'
equivalents of the debug settings), but the way it has been done is quicker and
does allow easier tweaking while it is being developed.

I agree that adding that as an option should do a lot to improve adoption - it
has become a bit of a sticking point with those that won't even try the latest
Viewer 2 versions. At least the way that it has been done in the Basic mode
gives TPV developers a standard way of doing it in their implementations.

Other comments:
There really is a need for a minimal inventory, as it is the inventory does pop
up some times when given something - a bug that needs fixing.
And a plea - remind your developers to use the referenced colours in the
colors.xml file rather than hard-coding them.
As Rod says, this is an important first step and I'm sure it will get better.
