<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm currently reviewing the Avatar Theme (<a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11521" target="_blank">http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11521</a>), which is a Child Theme based on Destro (<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/destro" target="_blank">http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/destro</a>).<br>
<br>
When I activate the Avatar Theme, I can see the corresponding design on the Front End. However after activation, I'm redirected to the options page of the Parent Theme, where I can select a skin. This skin then overrides the style of the Child Theme.<br>
<br>
This means that if I want to go back to the design of the Child Theme, I need to restore the default options. Unfortunately this means that I'll lose all of my options.<br>
<br>
This is how the Parent Theme works as well (no options = default skin), so from a Requirements standpoint this seems okay. However from a user standpoint, I find this confusing and not that ideal, because in the Parent Theme, the default design is available as a skin (so no need to reset the options), but in the Child Theme, this isn't the case.<br>
<br>
Any opinions on this? Thanks!<br>
