Not exactly... This is something I was personally thinking about taking on with every theme I create. All those parts are then created at the same time using the same base rules within the .xcf files. From a design perspective I find it easier to work like this (as with the old days of building a gtk 1.4 theme to match the dr16 theme from the dialogue bits). Only problem with that is time scales as then you have to *seriously* think about how the design will work for the user, fun, fun, fun... Still haven't had a whole world of joy with edje so this is all pie in the sky dreams at the moment, but i suppose for everyone thinking about creating new themes and being a theme maintainer etc, building a desktop mock-up and creating all of the relevant edje files might be the way forward despite the extra work involved. Probably wouldn't be a wise move to force this on anyone as I find the whole concept pretty intimidating at the moment (some thing I shall conquer), just something to make sure people are aware of perhaps in the future. Just my 2 cents nathan p.s. Been using e17 solidly at work and at home for the past 4 weeks or so and I am loving it, you guys are doing a fantastic job! :D > Toma > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's > challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great > prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
