@dan: Allow me start over. I made the mistake of being too specific beforehand.
The original problem was E/EWL/ETK (and GTK/QT) applications appeareance being inconsistent in distributions like openGEU. My suggestion is to reuse some design elments, a font color here, a background texture there, across the themes of the different EFL based toolkits. Use a QT-GTK theme that kinda fits. I'm not suggesting some sort of scheme to make all the toolkits look exactly the same. Because that would be wrong! They (sort of) behave differently so they should (sort of) look differently. I'm suggesting a very mild design element reutilization. Unity. Edje allows most of this today. A single edje file can contain the three themes using the same lists of fonts, colors and images. There is no need for the two file separation I made before. My suggestion could be described as a glorified 20-minutes-image-replacement. Instead of replacing plain images, you replace a slightly more complex element, a group. The group represents an image, used in the same way you would use an image. But this group would handle resize (and other aspects) more intelligently than a plain image. For QT/GTK a simple extension of the gtk-qt-theme engine could be made that imported *some* appareance hints from this Edje theme. That is all. I'm sorry for making a mess of things. The specific of these themeing guidelines are to be discussed later IF the openGEU guys think they need them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
