HAHAHA, Ok but keep in mind this is in no way "official", and will require a bit of work in your script (not to mention is incredibly hackish) ;)
Basically, what you are going to do is decompile the existing e.cfg file (usually in ~/.e/e/config/standard/e.cfg) using eet: 'eet -d /path/to/e.cfg config /path/to/temporary/e.src' This will output the current E config settings into a text file called e.src. Now you can run a 'sed' or something on e.src and replace the theme filename. What you are looking for in the e.src file is something like this: group "themes" list { group "E_Config_Theme" struct { value "category" string: "theme"; value "file" string: "/usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/default.edj"; } } Just sed the "file" line with the new theme, and save the file. Now you need to recompile it into binary: 'eet -e /path/to/e.cfg config /path/to/e.src 1' Restart E (assuming the new e.cfg is still in the standard place) and done. Should work ... in theory ;) dh On 01/01/2011 10:04 PM, Jeff Hoogland wrote: > I'll take ghetto and hackish.
