Note on THEME support:
E now supports the -theme option. Such as:
enlightenment -theme themeball
what is a themeball?
a themeball is a .tar.gz archive, a .tar archive or a directory containing
the contents of this archive. It does not require the .tar or .tar.gz
extension. E will work out what it is itself. look at the DEFAULT themeball
for an example (E NEEDS the MAIN config. it looks for images relative to the
themeball, if the images are references relatively.. see the config files.).
why is the system_config dir emtpy?
it is now up to you to fill it in wiht system config files for users who use
their own themes, but may rely on system default configs for system wide
usage they they havent set up. When E looks for config files it first looks
in the themeball, then in .enlightenment, ~/.enlightenment and finalle
/usr/local/enlightenment/system_config. This dir is for last-resort fallback
config files.
what does E now do on startup?
if you provide a -theme option, it looks for that themeball where specified,
if then not found, looks for the themeball in
/usr/local/enlightenment/themes (so if you do enlightnement -theme DEFAULT
that will forcably load the default theme in ./, if it exists, if not, it
loos for the themeball in /usr/local/enlightenment/themes).
If this is not provided, or fails, E looks in ./.enlightenment,
~/.enlightenment for MAIn configs.. if it cant find these dirs, then E looks
for the DEFAULT themeball in ./, then in /usr/local/enlightenment/themes. If
this doesnt work, it finally resorts to looking for configs in
/usr/local/enlightenment/system_config (as before).
Is there more support?
YES. you can restart E using the:
action restart
if you want E to restart with a selected themeball, use the:
action restart_theme themeball
This is just like running E with -theme themeball.
Am I making themes?
GOOD! make themes.. and follow the themeball format for distribution themes.
Its' simple, easy and has lots of support now. USE IT!
Hopefully that is enough to clean up the new theme support. Chekc the config
files int eh DEFAULT themeball (it is a.tar.gz themeball, just minus the
extensions).. there is new stuff there..... READ IT!
have a nice day!
