Re: gtk theme design

[Tristan Van Berkom <vantr touchtunes com>]

you learn something new every day ;)

you know what would be really cool to
develop ? a `glade' that generates
gtkrc's as well as xml etc. and possibly
creates a tarball with the 
xml/gtkrc/graphic components ;)

(hmmm.... I guess the next step would be
to add a C interpretor and voila!)

Have a good weekend all!
