Thats exactly what I'm aiming at :)
I didn't mean themeability in the themes.org sense of the word.
Just an abstraction of functionality:
- sliderbars
- rotational knobs from 1-10
- rotational knobs without beginning and end
...
Just how far you can go, I don't know.
Someone mentioned that the xmms coding style was
to be avoided.
I was thinking about some callback model:
you provide the callback to redraw your
knob after you changed the parameters.
This way you could plug the functionality
of the knobs etc. in your program, just
by providing the graphics and using
the toolkit you want...
Obviously I must have missed all the difficult parts ;)
