    I think the modern usage also has the nuance of fragility and temporality.

    You wouldn’t call a polished and extremely stable customisation a ‘rice’, you’d probably call it a theme

      I’m all for using “theme” as a replacement.

        How about “farkle” to take another term from the motoring world?

        I just said ‘theme’ has different connotations?
