How can we improve WooThemes?

Before sunsetting a theme create a Canvas skin

Woothemes has alienated many customers using industry-specific themes that are "no longer popular".

I recommend that you first create a new Canvas "skin" that is similar to the old theme before sunsetting the old theme. This way your customers at least have a option vs. you just shutting down support for a theme.

        I've always thought that it would be good to have Canvas themes. There are many tutorials and code snippets for canvas around the web, and this would be a great opportunity.

        I'd second the Scrollider as Canvas child theme. I love Scrollider, but I can't (easily) tweak it like I can Canvas. Well, you can't (easily) tweak anything as easily as Canvas.

        That's a really great idea! That "skin" would technically be a Canvas child theme. I'm thinking about doing this myself because one of those industry-specific themes was cancelled. I always make child themes, anyway.

        I like this idea too. I'd give my left nut for the blog of scrollider in Canvas. I find Canvas' blog kinda stale. :(
