[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - theme portlet

[rali.genova@jboss.com]

I saw some strange behaviour of the themes this morning. Portal 2.4 (CR2) has the Theme portlet at the bottom of the Test page, and if two different users are logged in at the same time, one can change the theme from there and it persists across all users. This seems a little illogical and unnecessary. On the other hand, if a user specifies a theme within his profile, it remains constant, even if someone else changes the theme from the portlet.

Maybe we should remove the portlet, or secure it? Although I don't see the use of Admins changing on a whim the theme for poor users, who still have 'Site Default' in their profile - imagine the confusion if your favorite theme changes one day, just because your portal admin decided purple is the new summer color.
