On 23 Sep, Richard Hult shouted:

-> change the looks of her windowmanager.

-> Every single configuration option doesn't need to be represented in the
-> capplet of course, but titel fonts, font sizes, any pixmaps used, opaque
-> resizing/moving, and so on. Just the basics to be able to configure your own
-> personal favorite wm :)
->
-> I guess we would have to write capplets for all the windowmanagers or maybe
-> a capplet, with a nice API, that accepts some kind of plug-ins, containing
-> the things that differs between the several wm's out there.
->
-> I haven't given this much thought yet, but it just now struck me as a good
-> idea. Any feedback? Totally stupid?
Simple answer - yes. it's been well thought about. I am perosnally
pallning on supporitng Enlightenment and writing a capplet for it - I
hope other WM users/maintainers will follow suit and write capplets too.
