I believe we were in different places here. The theme I was interested why you prefer Pinboard over it was Enlightenment and I originally thought you made the comments about being boxy and not graphically customizable about Enlightenment which kind of raised a “code red” as customizability was one of the main goals of this theme.
The theme you referenced is Cover WP which was done in 2009 and discontinued in 2011. Its time has passed and there are no plans to resurrect it. The reason I brought it up was because we had do discontinue it because it was no longer adhering to current standards and trends, including because of the reasons you mentioned above and I’m trying not to let the same happen to Pinboard, that’s why a visual interface update is planned.
I’m terribly sorry if I wasted your time because of verbal misunderstanding. Constructive feedback is always welcome and you are right about the poor visual guides in Cover WP. Anytime you have an idea you’re welcome to share it.
