Default Theme - intended OS ver

Hello, may I suggest to put 'intended os ver' FIELD in themes in theme catalog. I'm using pre2 with webos 2.1 and changed a dozen themes only to find out that they all are for old os versions...
I mean, this is serious, people are breaking their devices, forced to doctor only because there is no such info. Im reading the forum in regards of this for several hours and Im amazed of the lack of this information.. Most of the themes are generating tons of errors on pre2, making me think that my device is totaly ******. I even doctored - just in case - you never know what **** might have been left after all these experiments... Im almost convinced not to install any theme anymore!!
Im not saying that someone must go through all existing themes and set this field, but if you add it people can at least set this with new themes and we can easily select compatible stuff...

regards,
hope you take this seriously...

I would suggest adding your suggestion to the preware thread, rather than a standalone thread which Preware developers may or may not read.

Fair enough. So you'll need to post to the WOSQI thread, and send emails to the sites offering themes as well.
