Yes but a new layout like that would be such a small variation on the current theme that we may as well just change the colors for the one we have now.
I'm not really against minimalist designs, in fact I love minimalism, but the fact is that Oddworld just isn't minimalist. It's complex.
So perhaps an antiquated, victorian-art-deco style theme is in order? Something similar to FeeCo? Except we wouldn't give it disgustingly overcompressed jpegs snatched from gameshots - we would render our own stylised graphics.
Also, we could do something similar for a native theme. Our own rendered temple like theme. Something similar to the title screen of Abes Oddysee. We would have matching graphics for table edges, postbit and so on. The text area could be left in a matching color or perhaps one that sets off nicely from the rest.
What do you think? I mean I know you like clean, simple and no frills, but come on guys we want something really worth changing the current theme for! So what do you say?
