+## Dispy Themes ##
+
+**Dispy**: Light, Spartan, Sleek, and Functional
+
+**Dispy Dark**: Dark, Spartan, Sleek, and Functional
+
+
+### A Brief History ###
+
+Their beginnings are unknown to me, but they are part of the themes
+that Mike Macgirvin, Emmanual Revah, put together for Friendica, I *think*.
+
+Later on, in the fall and winter of 2011-2012, I took over maintaining
+the original dispy (now called dispy light). It went through a minor re-vamp,
+keeping to its spartan look as much as possible.
+
+I added more rounded corners, and as Friendica grew in capabilities and
+features, so did it - but, I always wanted to keep the features down, so as
+to be fast and spartan, which seems to appeal to a lot of the geekier
+users (like myself).
+
+Soon after I started maintaining dispy light, I developed its sister
+theme - dark - according to another user's request (and other "+1"
+votes for one like it). So *dark* was "born".
+
+Anyway, I've added a few more things since, and I hope I haven't
+over-done it ;-).
