We tend to only see this sometimes happen with stacks. But I have never seen that done myself, so I’d say that was highly unlikely. The only explanation I can think of for an older third party theme not to work in RW8 could be if the developer set a ‘flag’ by means of a key in the ist file to restrict the theme outside of a certain API range. Install into RW8 by first copying them to your desktop and then dragging them onto the RW8 dock icon. This can be done by opening your RW5 addons folder (from the menu?) and navigating Finder to find the theme and any other associated files (like saved style sets). As correctly says, you will probably need to manually copy the theme over to RW8. Third party themes like D-Scribe, again, I do not see any reason why these should not work in RW8. It does happen more often than you might think! And indeed, some people still prefer the approach of building separate websites for separate devices - so you might prefer to use one of these classic themes for a desktop site and a different theme for a mobile site. Having said that, at times, code has been shared on these forums and elsewhere to make old themes better for mobile, so I would not rule them out as completely incompatible with mobile. However they use an older XHTML doctype (not ideal for modern websites, HTML5 is preferred) and they are not mobile responsive. To my knowledge, none of these older themes have been deleted and they do still all work.
