I understand from your posts that Mark's tabled-version of MV is as good as finished, which is why I'm asking whether his version will also be released.
Mark did a lot, but I did find a few errors in the layout which didn't sit right with a few "default extensions". With that, I'm pulling out the tables because they're bad news bears. Either way I can clone the "tabled look" in standard and more elegant divs which would be sexier anyway. This would then give this theme a bit more flexibility should anyone want to tweak it based upon what I want to do to it now that I have an actual page from the old o8 layout ( topic 59078 :] Mmm, delicious! ) in it's former HTML+CSS glory.
I'm going to poke around and see what elements I can scrape from the sidebar into a functional sub-menu as this theme still supports the panel hide :) And it may even be missing a delegate or three so that's a task that for this theme which also requires careful attention and smoothing over. Mark loves his tabs though, so I have spent my free time "normalizing" the formatting and readjusting to templates as I've forgotten more than half of this stuff due to my leave of absence.
