I want to know why we have to specify the theme for each module we use in teh settings for each module?

For instance, on the homepage of my site, I have a minicart module, and a featured products module. I set the mini cart modules theme to black, but the featured products theme was set to orange by default, and as a result the mini cart took on the orange theme as well ... why? Well ... it appears the themes use common classes ... which won't work if you understand the cascading nature of CSS (explaining my situation above where the minicart showed the orange theme instead of the black theme).

Seeing as the above seems to be true, why can we not specify the theme once (like in general cart settings) ? This would make life so much easier and less confusing ...

Hi Sian,
The reason that each sc module has a theme setting is so you can configure different themes for different modules. You are right that all the sc modules use the same css classes for themes so if you have multiple sc modules on a single page then they all will have the same theme. But if you have an sc module (i.e. featured products module) on a different page you can configure it for a different theme then the buynow module on another page. Having a single theme setting in the buynow settings would eliminate the ability to configure different themes for sc modules across pages. I will have programming look into the feasibility of each module using its own theme css classes so you can configure different themes when you have multiple sc modules on a single page.
