Hi, Bob,
My hildon-desktop patch is here:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14555683/24_support_dynamic_theme_update.patch
I was thinking it might be better to have a review to those changes before I
put it to hardy ppa. I can put it directly, and actually I have verified it in
my target and it is working well.
Currently what is in the snapshot is 'Default' theme and I am not quite sure in
which package 'Human' is set to the key /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme. But
when you modify that key by gconf-editor, and set it to 'mobilebasic', with
updated hildon-theme-mobile-basic, you will see marquee panel updated at
runtime. :-)
Thanks,
Horace

Subject: GTK theme masters: Help! (RE: Theme Setting added to moblin-applets -
bug #206389 )
We need to tweak some things to get our themes working correctly. Questions /
confusion in red
My goals are:
- Have all theme settings controlled via the standard gconf keys:
desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme (and icon_theme). These are currently set
to non-existent "Human"
- Remove hard-coded theme in scripts (currently set to mobilebasic)
- Set gnome as default icon theme and verify it works
- Get midbrowser to use 48x48 icons instead of stretching 24x24 icons
(These are coming from /usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-doc/gtk/ !? )
- Verify that apps, marquee, and home page change theme when gconf keys
change.
What I thought happened, but doesn't exactly:
X starts
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/25ume-config-common-startup
sets GTK2_RC_FILES = <theme_dir>/gtkrc-2.0/gtkrc (theme_dir
currently /usr/share/theme/mobilebasic/ )
calls /usr/share/ume-config-common/ume-gui-start
starts matchbox, passing in --theme =
<theme_dir>/matchbox/theme.xml (theme_dir currently:
/usr/share/theme/mobilebasic )
The above should impact hildon-desktop and matchbox only. (Horace, can we
also find a way to remove the --theme parameter to matchbox?)
GTK apps get theme settings via xsettings daemon which reflects values in
gconf: ( I don't see any change in apps icons or theme. Browser icons don't
change -- what apps do?)
/desktop/gnome/interface
/gtk_theme
/gtk_key_theme (what is this?)
/icon_theme
There is also currently gconf keys in:
/desktop/moblin/interface (Todd, what are these for and who uses them?)
/gtk_theme
/icon_theme
FYI: Horace has changed the hildon-desktop to ignore the GTK2_RC_FILES and
moved the gtkrc.maemo_af_desktop contents to gtkrc file.
(Horace, where are your changes? I built an image today but hildon-desktop
hasn't changed. If I comment out GTK2_RC_FILES value, I get the attached).
current hildon-desktop: 1:2.0.11-1-svn15367-0ubuntu2
wrt the gtkrc file in the mobilebasic theme package, all references to image
files were changed from: ../images/<file> to
../../../../../usr/share/theme/mobilebasic/images/<file> Why? It seems less
robust to have basically an almost absolute path instead of a relative one.

Hi, Todd,
Below is the comment from Ubuntu engineer for your reference.
"Gtk theme changes are made by setting the following gconf key to the name of a
theme directory: /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme . For example, this could
be set to "mobilebasic" or any other valid theme directory in that location/
When that key changes, the change is propagated to xsettings and, through this,
all gtk apps are notified of the new theme, and they immediately redraw
themselves. Gtk applications launched later launch using the new theme."
Basically, we might need a theme setting dialog added to moblin-applets for
users to select their favorite theme, when new theme is selected,
/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme key value should be updated.
Thanks,
Horace
