[theme-reviewers] Theme 2-Step Activation

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Have you experienced the activation, does it require a registration?  If it does – that’s crippleware.  I still say no either way; it cripples the theme by not activating by placing big huge words on the end users visual.

Well, they're not trying to upsell or anything, so I don't think that applies exactly. It's just an unconventional setup that requires further "user activation steps" than normal.

  I know a lot of plugins, after "activating", still need to actually be activated in the plugins settings, but is this allowed for themes?

  After activating a theme I'm reviewing on the front-end of the theme appears at the top:

  YOU NEED TO CLICK ON THE CHILDISHLY SIMPLE OPTIONS BUTTON IN ADMIN / APPEARANCE TO ACTIVATE THIS THEME

  Now, respectively, some themes are more complicated than others and need to be appropriately adjusted, but can an exception be made here or not, any theme absolutely must simply just work out-of-the-box?

  Thanks, Bryan
