[MeeGo-dev] How to customize a theme for an application?
Hi, I am new to Meego dev and was wondering if it is possible to customize a theme for an application? I am trying to use a customized set of graphics for an application. I tried to create a similar theme structure and use MTheme class but was not very successful. Thanks in advance!

MTheme and /usr/share/themes/*/meegotouch is only relevant for MeeGo Touch applications, but since MeeGo Touch is on its way out, for MeeGo 1.3, you might not want to spend too much time with that. OTOH, there will be no official theming engine for MeeGo 1.3, as far as I know ... Anyway, to answer your question, you should only have to replace the SVG's (make sure you keep the id's inside valid! And also, only group elements can have id's) and the PNG's. If you create a new theme, you can switch to it with: $ gconftool-2 -s /meegotouch/theme/name -t string name-of-my-theme If you also tap into the CSS files or even MeeGo Touch views (requires C ++), theming can change the behaviour of all MeeGo Touch apps even :-) regards, Michael ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines

Thanks for the info, Michael. For your suggestion on replacing the SVGs, this will affect all other applications? Is there perhaps a way that I can have the themeserver load a customized theme when only a particular application is launched?
