Comment (by davidsorensen):

 "It is for your theme to decide how images are styled."

 Sorry Knutsp, I believe wat you are saying here is very "unwise" to say it
 nice ;-) Please think about this.

 I don't want to insult you because I know you probably mean well and think
 you are right, but what you are saying is really not very clever.

 A theme is a BASIC startingpoint and in the theme the webmaster needs all
 the basic options there should be to work with it.

 So please, rethink this, because we are CREATIVES not dumb copiers of
 standard themes. We want to work with images and do some creative stuff
 with it, without the need to add plugins for functions that are as basic
 as the sunlight by day.

 basic function.

 possible. Having many small plugins is not a problem. The quality of a
 plugin matters.
