I found some of the comments interesting: " A skinnable system that could look like either OSX or NEXTSTEP would be ideal to me" "Quite simply, I want GNUstep to NOT look like OS X. " "I'd like a skin that looks like MacOS 8/9" It proves that you cannot have a single UI solution to satisfy everyone. And theme is a solution, but not a complete one. For example, I like a shorter menu bar while most people don't. If we make an application very configurable, it is a big problem for the developers because she/he has to test all the possible configuration. So a solution I found useful is that we let the UI components replacable as long as the interface between components is the same. For example, I can have a shorter menu bar as long as I use the same interface to tell System to logout and the same interface for menulet. People who do not like the UI of AZDock can have it own, say Windows-style. As long as it listens to notification from Azalea, it will be able to track XWindow properly. It is kind of "build your own UI'. Yen-Ju _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
