I don't use OS X but what about XP's >Display Properties > Themes stands for? Not for theming? This User Interface is official from Microsoft. As for smartphone, I understand, but with a 2005-era Sony Erickson Walkman, you can change the appearance of the phone with a third party theme and with an official User Interface from Sony Erickson. As for WinXP they defined theme as:Neither Windows nor OS X (nor any smartphone OS I'm aware of) provides an official UI and support for theming, and there's no great outcry that it should be available on those; it's the norm for the appearance of the desktop to be defined by the provider. A theme is a set of background plus a set of sounds, icons, and other elements to help you personalized your computer with one click. The keywords are: "elements" and "one click" no, no config files to touch. Anyway, I know GNOME Shell was designed differently from the ground up, but themes is a standard feature on any D.E. AFAIK or else we are living in caves. And Windows 7 offers a very improved way to change the appearance(theming) of the desktop. Please clarify me on your points above. Regards, Allan |
