@Duvan.Slabbert, thanks for the appreciation, it means a lot.

I was not aware that this is still in use. I must confess, I've even forgotten the unique features of this sub-theme.

Making it available in Drupal 8/9/10 won't be a big issue. (I can take a look at this next month, atm preparing to travel and holidays...)

But am wondering if it make sense for you to use the theme without Widget Factory being ported to Drupal 8/9/10?

This theme, for me, combined with Widget Factorybrings something very unique to the table that cant be found in any other theme, well, at least from the countless hours of searching I have done.

The widget menu works great, combined with fontawesome it creates the opportunity for a very well designed and great "Quick Access" menu on a site for users. I don't think allot of people understand the great potential of this theme combined with widget factory.

In all my years of using this theme combined with widget factory I have manage to change a couple of things, at least styling wise, where I have managed to combine this theme with the layout of the current Drupal 8, 9 and 10 theme W3CSS Theme. With some added CSS magic one gets a theme that has a very professional clean look and feel with a simplistic layout that is not over the top for end users who needs to use the systems.

As for the widget user feature in I have also styled it a bit deferent to give more or less the same look and feel as this Screen shot from the Drupal 8 module User Info Widget, but with the same functionality as the Widget Factory.

With Drupal 8, 9 and 10 rapid launches and new modules being released that feels like something new every day I would love to see this theme with its features of widget factory to continue over to Drupal 8, 9 and 10 to enable me to upgrade my clients sites. I would even go so far in saying that with the power of Drupal 8, 9 and 10 that one can even go as far as combining the widget factory features into the theme.

@ Duvan.Slabbert,

Thanks for detailed explanation. A lot has changed in Drupal 9 and Widget Factory could use an overhaul.

I would spend some time on evaluating the way forward. Lets see how it goes.
