Clean work. But I would prefer tabs or a sidebar instead of having
separate dialogs (window management hassle). Have one page with the path
plus what is on "Theme Settings", but perhaps call it "Properties".
Other pages: "GTK", "Metacity" and "Export".

For the content of "Theme Settings": try labels on the left.

On "Metacity Settings": "Title parts order" needs explanation right in
place or an interface where you can move blocks around (most likely too
complicated to code to be worth it, though).

You would either have to remember the date of last modification on
export, or keep a copy of the last export around for a comparison.

Yeah I think that there could one more page "Package" alonside the
others. I think that a numbered list of steps in order to create the
theme would be the best.

I just tried to save some space.

Sure it does need this and will get one in the real project.

I think that the date would be the preferred way of checking this.


Thanks for the reply! I hoped more people would like to see this
implemented and comment but it seems to be only you and me :) If it is
so I think it is not worth it implementing. What do you think? Anybody
else?

You should definitely send it to the maintainer. You might be amazed ;)

If you rename the theme directory from Kin-Lucid to Kin before or after 
installation it will work correctly. The theme picker uses the name of the 
directory as the name of the theme, not anything in the gtkrc or such ;)
