   Theme/prompt fallbacks and their variabl

   Hello again, g00r00!   
      
   Just wanted to check with you how the theme/prompt fallbacks are to be   
   configured. I'm running the latest x86_64 prealpha ()   
      
   On my board, I have "scbbs_en" as the Default Theme for new users. The   
   intention is to inherit anything not explicitly overridden from the stock   
   theme (the theme directory named "default").   
      
   From this, and the comments present in theme.ini, I think I should set:   
      
           Def_Prompt = false   
           Def_Text = false   
           Def_Menu = false   
           Def_Script = false   
      
           Prompt = default   
           Text = default   
           Menu = default   
           Script = default   
      
   The false values for Def_* would be to avoid any circular dependencies, as   
   scbbs_en is the Default Theme and certainly annot load any missing prompts   
   from itself.   
      
   But there seems to be something going on when entering and then exiting from   
   the Theme/Prompt Editor.   
      
   A Def_* value of true displays as Fallback: Yes in the Theme/Prompt Editor,   
   but after exiting, the value gets emptied (and is then shown as Fallback:   
   No).   
      
   Choosing a theme e.g. for Inherit Prompts appears to set this for both   
   Def_Prompt and Prompt (after exiting the Theme/Prompt Editor).   
      
   The values of the Prompt, Text, Menu and Script variables (at least as   
   displayed by the Theme/Prompt Editor) seem to override any values of the   
   Def_Prompt, Def_Text, Def_Menu and Def_Script variables.   
      
   How do all these variables relate to each other, and how are they intended to   
   be used?   
      
   Many thanks in advance!   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
