New theme format

Tomorrow I'll commit the changes to the menu which will invalidate the old
theme format. This means third party themes will no longer work.

The themes which have been converted are: Blue, G.A.N.T, MythCenter,
MythCenter-wide, Retro, Minimalist-wide, Iulius and Titivillus

Justin Hornsby's themes in SVN haven't been converted, but I believe he
intends to convert some if not all. Patches to convert these themes will be
welcome.

I'll release a new, compatible version of Metallurgy just before the commit
tomorrow.

N.B. These are just the start of ongoing breakages of old themes. We'll try to
convert over popular core themes, but without help it may not be possible to
keep up. Simultaneously converting nine themes (inc default) in addition to
changing the code is too much for one person.

Using both blue and minimalist-wide, I don't have the option to actually
change the theme in use. There is no drop-down where it used to be on
the Appearance screen. I hacked it by linking Minimalist-wide to metallurgy.

Is the lack of ability to change the theme a known problem?

Yes, it will be tomorrow now. It's ready to go, the menu changes at least but
plugins are a mixed bag. I'll at least get mythvideo working, if not pretty.

It was broken by one of the QT3 -> QT4 commits, I'm not sure which one and
Daniel is aware. It's just bad timing.

That's the only plugin I use, so I can deal with that.

could also just edit the db directly. update settings set
data='yourtheme' where hostname='yourhostname' and value='Theme';
should work i think.

Yes. that would work, but at the moment, the symlink works, and was quicker.

I didn't find time to sort out mythvideo, maybe in the next 3/4 days:
