@SpikeToronto: I guess that's a good question for Wikia Staff. Like I stated previously; I agree it would be convenient and logical to have the color theme change dynamically, depending on Theme Designer setup, but this release is an improvement over the white/blue theme, so you won't see me complaining (too much ;-)) .Perhaps due to lack of time, anticipation of a larger future release or some policy regarding consistency, Wikia wasn't able to introduce a flexible RTE theme. Also, after the Admin Dashboard dark theme was released, it was to be expected that the new editor would get a similar skin.
