Modular Separation - PHP5 (Modules)

[eluser]Rolly1971[/eluser]
why would you want the themes to be modular? ie: part of the actual module.

that would create a huge redundancy, and inconsistent layout for all areas both frontend and backend.

by putting the themes inside the modules you add alot of overhead to the application that can be avoided.

the idea of the modular separation is yes mobility of the modules, but to also seemlessly integrate into applications that you use MS with. By allowing the themes to (or forcing the modules to have their or theme) you create a bad design forcing users to develop their theme for use for every single module released for your app.

this is kind overboard don't think?
