I like this. Perhaps a pane in the theme selection dialog to assign themes to etk, ewl and edje apps (as groups) and a place to create a list of applicatoins with specific theme assignments? And for those who want to select one theme and be done with it, there could be a radio button or checkbox for 'Apply Theme Globally' or something similar, which would disable the per-app/per-toolkit selections. uberpinguin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
