Hi, Jonathan recently blogged about the new symbolic color stuff that will appear in GTK+ 2.10. He gave a pretty good description of the features.
It would be great if some people would start experimenting a bit with this, to see if what we have now is good enough for doing recolorable themes and a color capplet. The two main open questions on this are (for me, at least): - What is a reasonable set of symbolic colors that we need ? I would imagine a color capplet would only allow to tweak this small, fixed set of symbolic colors (and maybe offer an advanced tab to tweak arbitrary extra colors). - Do we need a way to set defaults for symbolic colors ? This may not be necessary for the "standard" colors mentioned in the first question, since themes could rely on their presence, but it would be a good idea for any random extra colors which themes might want to expose. If you want to play with this, you'll need to build GTK+ HEAD. If you want to experiment with the setting, you will need the current cvs control-center, and manually add the key /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_color_scheme in gconf-editor. The value must be a multiline string with lines of the form name: color, e.g background: Red foreground: #33221f (Since GtkEntry is not very good at multiline editing, the easiest way to achieve this is to paste the right value into the cell...)
