A lot of old 1.6-era themes only need template tweaks to render correctly.

I have been rebuilding my forum theme with a file-based workflow and it is so much nicer than clicking through the ACP.

Remember to hard-refresh after syncing, the CSS cache is aggressive.

The on-disk workflow changed how I build themes completely.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.
