I should add that my addition was never intended to have or get any GUI
(beyond vi). I'll also not want to code one. (It just "slipped into" the
cvs when I committed some new translations for Giorgios functions.) The
the existing GUI functions are sufficient, the only thing I'd think
about is also hooking up with the repertoir files.
Still, just from a design point of view, IMHO scid contains too much
"data", ie. things that should not be set as constants but read in from
files supplied.
It came to my mind: maybe we should consider to add such calls for
pulling in resources. Very simle example: if we would e.g. collect all
bitmaps used in one file, and just add some code like
if (-e $scidconfig/scid.res) { source $scidconfig/scid.res }
at the end of that single file theming scid is IMHO pretty easy by just
providing a suitable resource file. I did not check for side effects of
this, but I don't think there are any as long as scid supplies its
resources by default and the variables just get overwritten if an
external file exists and sets them.
