What I like to contribute to this discussion/thought (taking the previous statement of Chris into mind in regards of a separate UI to download Menu themes or setting the menu to the 'Menu theme' included with a certain theme) is that ideally from a user perspective, it should work like this:</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">If the theme designer has included a separate Menu with his theme, it should be set as the default menu to be used as that particular menu was apparently created to match the theme (like I did for the MythMediaStream theme). If the theme designer didn't include an a menu then just left the Menu as it is... Further more, although not many new menu themes are submitted yet, I think its a good thing to have a separated UI for downloading menu themes as I can imagine that sometimes people just want to arrange the way menu items are presented to them a bit different then the way there are just now.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Additional question in regard to what Chris says and what Stuart confirms: Do I understand it well that, I don't have to make a separate folder for the Menu theme, but instead, I can just include the theme Menu .xml files into the root directory of the theme itself and create an additional <type>Menu</type> into the themeinfo.xml? If so this would make things a little easier and perhaps support the idea above (i.e. a <type>OSD</type> is also set as default once the theme is selected?)</div>
