I think this is only the case after people started breaking it! Switching between themes dynamically used to work very well for me. I really stopped work on Thematic because it became apparent that people working on code-based themes were, while doing a load of good stuff, also breaking stuff and clearly not using it. >> Code to support this needs to go into GSTheme in gui. > > Yes, indeed, as I mentioned here... > > "What is likely needed is some code in the deactivate method of the GSTheme > class to remove the in-window menus from all menus when switching." I think this should actually be done by the gui library response to changing the interface style ... it's not a theme-specific issue, it's an interface style issue. I can change the interface style to control my menus without changing the theme I'm using ... well, I *used* to be able to do that, and I want to be able to do that again. > I should also mention that there is additional cleanup which needs to be done > in GSTheme's deactivate method, such as unloading all of the images from the > theme being transitioned from... probably by reloading the GNUstep default > images... since the theme being transitioned to might not redefine all of the > images. That used to work ... perhaps it still does (I haven't tried recently) or perhaps it's another of the things which has been broken. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list Bug-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
