RE: about themes

[pschultz <pschultz ualberta ca>]

Thanks,

After I sent you that email, I found some themes at 
www.tetridome.com/download.htm . They've got lots for tetrinet and a few for 
gtetrinet. I'm not sure what the license is for those gtetrinet themes they've 
got posted, but I've made one myself at 
http://clubgeer.servebeer.com/~pschultz/files/edge.tar and you have my 
permission to make it available as a sample and a download to anyone that's at 
your site looking for a theme.

Finally, I would be interested in contributing to gtetrinet. Are you looking 
for a more elegant way of supporting themes, or do you just want users to be 
able to supply their theme.tnp from windows tetrinet? Please let me know how I 
can get started with this group. I'm available for coding in just under two 
months but can get myself set up with the sourceforge CVS and start looking at 
what you've got sooner than that.

Cheers,

-Paul
