Re: Theme four-point-nine
This theme is amazing, giving me truly hope for the future (pun intended). I consider this a valid starting point for a new site – which will probably remain there for the next few years (provisional solutions do have a habit of lasting forever. As life teaches us).
1 One thing, though. I think the benefits of Textpattern shine bright enough in the initial article, even for the first-time user. We wouldn’t feel the unsatisfiable desire to name other CMSes (e. g. the one with a capital_P_dangit in their name).
2 I think it’s about time to remove the footer link to the notorious site formerly known as Twitter.

That’s probably just because it’s cloned from the source material. I doubt we’ll use that as the welcome article content (although we could borrow bits and rephrase them, perhaps).
The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Style Variants
Cool! That’s exactly the kind of thing I was thinking. Have a main theme that provides a base scaffold and allow the user to override the CSS custom properties via the Presentation › Styles and Presentation › Sections panels.
That stylelab is a great idea too. Must look at that in more detail.
Nice to see Bridget Riley too. Have you ever seen her work in real life? It’s a mind-blowing and remarkably physical experience.

Re: Theme four-point-nine
I’m a big fan; saw some of Riley’s work exhibited in Sydney 20 years ago. Blown away – the microscopic imperfections made each work hyper-tangible.

Yes! I’d done a project on pop art while at school, and had a postcard-sized picture on my wall during studies of a more subdued variant of the one you chose. Years later, I saw the 2003 exhibition at the Tate Britain (here and here).
