Re: Changing the theme format

[Gianni Moschini <gianni moschini gmail com>]

About the theme editor thing, I would really like to help designing this.

I have been working on a prototype not too long ago, for the drawing part only. It draws lines, rectangles, arcs, gradients, tints, images, and texts. But I realized it needs a lot more of discussion on how to relate all of this with the theme format used by metacity.

See Metacity Themer, it's unusable by a designer.

And I think it would be great to have an easy theme designer software around. But it seems there are no much interest for this.

Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss about it.


On a side note, I've been hit by a bug while developing the prototype (everything was done using Python). The gradient_create_multi function is not callable from Python, as far as I know, and I've been stuck with this since then.
