Hi Folks,

Since my "Simplicity" [1] approach seem to be too easy, I thought, it
would be time to intorduce it's twin :)
"Complexity" [2].

As you know, twins share there genes, but are still different. This is
also true for Complexity and Simplicity. They are similar, but not
equal.

The Differences
============
[[zzConfig]]@complexity
...
co.txtTheme = "complexity";
...

[[zzConfig]]@simplicity
...
co.txtTheme = "simplicity";
...

Twins behave similar
================

You can enter/activate simplicity's backend with:
http://simplicity.tiddlyspace.com/#txtTheme:complexity

Actually, you could activate this mode since simplicity was introduced
[5]. Just the parameter was a little bit different.

Same with complexitiy's frontend.
http://complexity.tiddlyspace.com/#txtTheme:simplicity

The backends main menu contains <<selectTheme>> and <<selectPalette>>

Roll your own
==========

If you want to turn an existing default TiddlySpace into the twins,
just include
a) simplicity-template [3] into your space

b) and __make sure__ that your StyleSheet is __not containing__
[[StyleSheetTiddlySpace]] Since it will mess up everything.

c) If TiddlySpace would be more cooperative, there would be only a)
and activating the default theme would be easy too.


Known issue
==========
ColorPalettes. All existing simplicity clones have a nice
ColorPalette. The only problem is, that all of them look ugly if used
with the backend. But .. You can use MPTWs [4] tiddlers tagged
"systemPalette". IMO they are all nice with the backend.

have more fun!

PS: Don't ask for complexities documentation. There is none. It would
be simplicity then :)
