I see a couple of questions that I would like an answer to: 1). How do we define what is dt theme? Is it just CSS file? Or can it include a font? I guess the answer is "only CSS". 2). How should packagers consider a Roboto font? Is it a required dependency or optional (e.g. suggested in Debian or USE-flag in Gentoo)? Should it be included in macOS and Windows packages or can we just say in release notes that user has to install Roboto font himself if he wants to? Keep in mind that I don't think that just because elegant theme isn't the default option this question doesn't matter - if some feature is included, it should work. ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
