The site breaks when I install and enable sky theme without installing adaptive theme. Would you please add an error message that displays instead of having the site break with WSOD. thank you.

Well really Drupal should be doing this, and this is currently being worked on for Drupal 8, but not sure if it will get back-ported.

I have tried to do this, however its a huge pita because really, it needs to happen BEFORE you enable the theme like modules do, i.e. set in the info file.

I can start wrapping everything in if function_exists conditions which adds overhead, and that penalizes everyone because some users don't bother to rtm.

I would love it if there were some easy way to get around this, and pop an error message or similar but I haven't really been able to figure out a really good way to do it.
