​I would be -1 to do this - I think it is much better to have a consistent
message and instantly recognisable app in screenshots etc. Moving from the
1.x theme to the 2.x theme was long and painful and I think if there was a
lesson to be learned it was 'dont make multiple theme options otherwise
people will never migrate to the new one and we will end up maintaining two
themes".​
