I glanced through it briefly and it looks like you got the merging to work well. Kudos!
Thanks Dulux for helping on this, as I'm sure you set the groundwork for themes to come.I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.

^^^^ 1000 X this. He was more patient then I would expect anyone to be (there were about 6 extensive revisions to get it working right). And yes, I think I'm starting to get the idea behind merging. Also, I took some of your previous advice and eliminated whole .xml files from the extension. Where possible I opted for a straight resource replacement. This generally worked well, and I think I can do some more simplification in future updates with a little bit better pre-planning and some non-significant re-designs.

Good to hear. This is how you learn in the FG community: hands-on. No one really knows what they are doing when they begin. (I think this is why community members are so helpful; we've all been there.)

2017/02/25 - v2.1 : Fixed an issue with the weapons and equipment sub-windows. I’m sure that is the last problem that will ever be found with this extension (he said knowingly) - Thanks to Lord Gwydion and Rob2EE for the continuing feedback

I like the style on this a lot. Have you thought about an inverted / high contrast version (white text black backgrounds)?

Actually yes, but it gets into a lot of weird design challenges. They're not impossible to overcome, but at the moment I've got a lot of work stuff happening, so I can't dedicate the time right now. My primary goal with both of the themes I've made was to make them user friendly for small / single monitor situation (i.e.: laptops). Part of what I ended up liking least about the Wizards theme is that it is very bright and a strain on my eyes when reading for extended periods. I think my PRO theme is a bit of an overreaction to that (it's a little too low contrast). In any event I will hopefully be able to dedicate some time to a few more themes towards the end of the year, and a higher contrast version is on my short list.

This is a great extension - so clear and crisp. Well done and thank you.
These are only personal preferences, but I'll put them out there:
the faction shading (green, red, yellow) seems too dark - a lighter shade would make the text 'pop' more
the heading text on RTF sheets doesn't stand out enough (I wonder if black would stand out more than the dark green)
As I said, personal preferences. The extension is otherwise so much clearer to read.
