Third try to send this message, I suppose the attachments don't get through. I'll send them separately.

I'm attaching a patch for the current ion3, after applying a new subdir called xftde/ should appear. After the compilation (which will hopefully run cleanly, it requires libxft-dev) there should be additional files called xftde.(lc|so), which should be copied to the appropriate places somewhere under /usr/lib/ion3/. The next step is using a separate DE configuration. I'm attaching my current one, which is not quite ready yet, but it's usable. Please beware of padding color bugs - you have to define padding_color explicitely, background_color is not taken automatically somehow. But that's about the only glitch I've found ;) The documentation on styles seemed to me a bit dated... What I would like to achieve is to be able to compile the DE separately from the ion3 package (Debian's ion3-dev is not quite up to the challenge ;)), install it as a replacement for the default one (choose one or another without changing the configuration) and implement a couple of small features for the engine, which can get back-ported to the main one (I'd like to have (left|right|top|bottom)-padding options for the tabs' text). Whatever, enjoy :) -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
