A serious problem for styles is the fact that each one wants to put its
files in a different directory
(styles/Styles/backgrounds/Backgrounds/Background etc), and then the style
file itself needs to be modified for every theme that does not match your
system.
I propose that there be a resource in the .blackboxrc file for the
"backgrounds" directory, and for the "styles" directory. Then, for in the
style file, there should be a keyword ($backgrounds ?) that will be
replaced when loading the style by blackbox. This would make everyone's
lives easier installing themes, and make them look correct for a lot of
people who may not realise that they have to edit the file.
Also, to install the theme, we could have a small script/info file added
to themes, that when the theme unpacking tool is run (this doesn't exist
yet of course) it will untar the .tar.gz and use the script or info file
to mv the background into the $backgrounds dir and the style file into the
$styles dir and and fonts to an appropriate spot, etc. Perhaps the font
dir needs a recource too, or just to the currect working directory.
I'm sure this idea can be improved upon, but i'd really like to not have
to edit every single theme file in the future at the least.
That's it for now,
xOr
