While I sometimes need structure, I tend to break the rules anyway. The format of this test suited me well today.

:D Love that there was finally an initiative with the program that gave you ample room to roam and to take advantage of that ability of yours. I dig how you approached this comparing across a few themes rather than just one switch. I didn’t want to ask for too much in the test but it’s a great way to wrap your head around the current state of things, including important topics like this:

One question that keeps me up at night is how cross-theme compatibility will work on the content level. Default block output should translate from one theme to the next with little or no issues. However, custom block styles, font sizes, colors, and the full range of presets are already a problem area.

This too is a great call out:

While I called this the most complex piece of the design, it is actually a simple thing to do with most page builders or with a few lines of CSS.

I’m going to follow up on this latter point to see if I might need to open an issue or if this is being thought about in a larger overview issue:

However, I have not seen gradient names pop up in this discussion.

If you don’t mind, I have a few questions I can’t help but ask:
– Does being able to take different parts of different themes to create what you want feel enticing to you?
– What prevented you from switching themes previously? Curious about this in general, especially in light of folks eventually hopefully switching to block themes in time.
– Are there any tools outside of WordPress that you use that create a delightful experience when switching between something comparable to themes?

No pressure to respond but had to ask :)
