    Why would you want to convert them. AutoThemes have the advantage of working out-of-the-box on PostNuke, PHP-Nuke, MDpro, Envolution, CPG-Nuke and OSCommerce. You can't do that with Xanthia. Stick with your AutoTheme for maximum flexibility and future use.

    if he decides to convert it for PostNuke, it doesn't make it disappear. he can use the original theme to migrate if he chooses to do so..

    Why would you want to convert them.

    Maybe so he doesn't have to add the bloat of another module to the core, when he can make it to work with Xanthia.

    And if he's using PostNuke, who cares about it working on the others. From a developer standpoint, that's a selling point, from a user stand point, it's not really.

    Sounds like he made up his mind :) As for bloat, couldn't you eliminate a lot of bloat by deleting Xanthia from your PostNuke install (sorry, just tweaking you Michael).

    As for the AT question - just go to the AT control panel, click on extras and you'll find an option to turn off the "powered by autothemes" message. Its just defaulted to on with the install.

    Dan if you need any advice while tweakign your theme for AT, don't hesitate to give me a shout by Private Message.

    Also being part of pnRender, or is it the other way around, it's the same stuff for themes & for custom module layouts on pnRender modules.
