This had been my first thought as well. However, I wanted to associate colour schemes to a particular GTK+ theme, rather than to the metatheme. For GNOME 2.18 however, the only feature that will be available to the user is saving their local custom colour schemes. At the moment, there are several ways this could be implemented. We can save the schemes to keys in gconf or we can save the schemes to a file. For saving to a file, it could be an xml or .desktop format file in $HOME/.gnome2/colour_schemes. I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both methods, so I would like to know if anyone has any strong opinions either way. -Thomas _______________________________________________ gnome-themes-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-themes-list
