Just another thing. The problem mainly arose from the fact that we use the /name/ of the directory as an identifier which decides whether the theme is the default one. So, we would still have this problem after this patch (which still gets +1 from me even with this problem). How to make a them

b) and c) do not rule out each other, indeed: we could have c) as an optional entry which defaults to oxygen which would be the "default fallback" option. To me this seems the sanest option, since many themes around, being incomplete as Nuno said, rely on the fact that they are fallbacked by oxy

Hi all, as i was talking today with Ivan on irc, there could be a problem in having air as default theme now, since is the fallback theme too, many existing (and incomplete) themes that relied on many elements to be the fallback ones now have the air elements, a thing that could quite break thei
