Title:
Mood Theme Editor: some improvements

Area:
mood themes

Summary:
Creating a mood via the console is pretty easy. Creating a mood via the editor (http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/moodthemes) would be quite easy too if a few improvements were made i.e. if:

Description:
-- moods were sorted alphabetically.

-- top moods (i.e. moods other moods can be derived from) were clearly marked as such.

-- you could specify one width, one height and have it apply to all images. I suggest two boxes at the top to enter the values then a checkbox to fill all other boxes with the same values (these could be manually overridden of course).

-- boxes were grayed out when you can't enter any value (this happens when you choose to use the same image for severals moods and the inherit box is checked).

I have the concern about people importing mood themes from fork sites, if what they're doing is just lining the pages up and copy/pasting over, but this is one of the things where we may not be able to maintain perfect compatibility and still remain usable ourselves.

Goodness, once we get image hosting, my pie in the sky is to be able to upload a zip with things named the names of moods, and press a button or two to have it installed as a mood theme. *dreams* *licks daydream*

Pretty sure that's already in Bugzilla (the upload-from-zip thing). if it isn't, it should be!

Upload-from-zip specifically, no. Point at directory and slurp, yes. Commented there.
