Modifying base themes

Does anyone have any issues with submitting modifications to the base
MythCenter (non-wide) theme? I've been using it for a long time with 0.21
and I upgraded to 0.22 last night and it basically inherits most of it's
screens from the default theme. Some of the fonts, colors, etc are not
quite what they used to be in the previous version so I'm trying my hand at
making it look as much like 0.21 in key places as possible and then maybe
try upgrading other screens as my skill allows.

The only issue is I don't have any plan to touch the MythCenter-wide because
I don't have a wide system. Is it a problem for me to make changes to just
one part as I try to improve it so that someone else can adapt those to the
-wide version or should I just package it as a different theme without a
-wide component?

Thanks,
Kevin

I like the simplistic style of the wide and non-wide versions of
MythCenter and intend to keep using them until something comparable
and better comes along.

I say take your best stab at adapting your non-wide changes to the
wide version as well. Unless someone who is more graphically inclined
wants to step in, I'll work with you to make sure they are acceptable
and get them into svn.
