Shiki-Colors-Murrine: Install Murrine version in separate directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently, Shiki-Colors and Shiki-Colors-Murrine install to the same
directory. This makes it difficult to install both versions at the same time.

I was wondering whether it would be possible to rename and have the Murrine
version in a separately named directory (e.g. Shiki-Murrine-Brave, etc.).
That way the two theme will not conflict.

Thanks! And keep up the good work. I love this theme.

This is done on purpose, as both packages provide essentially the same content 
- the
only difference is the rendering engine used for them.

I think it's better to keep them as conflicting packages, that way installing 
the
opposite version will overwrite the existing files, rather than have duplicate
(albeit slightly differently rendered) themes.

For example, installing both - in a case where they would not conflict, would 
lead to
14 entries for shiki-colors rather than just the 7 color variants. It would 
also make
it harder to upgrade, as users would have to keep track of updating two 
variants at
the same time - rather than just install the one of their choosing every once 
in a
while to keep up to date.

Then again, this is just my reasoning - if there are other benefits besides dual
installation that I'm not aware of, and the pros outweigh the cons, I can give 
it a
further look.

I'm closing this for now, currently there is no need to differentiate between
clearlooks and murrine versions, as they provide mostly the same content.

If in the future it can be helpful, then I'll consider it more thoroughly.
