I think there is some infrastructure already there, working on the edje group level... Please check the Elementary wiki page: http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/Elementary Quoting the section about elementary envionment variables... > ELM_THEME - This sets the theme(s) to be used in order from most > preferential, to least, just with the theme name (minus the .edj extension) > with a : character delimiting the name.

The way I understand this is that for every edje groud that is needed to render a widget, elementary will check the *.edjes in the order they are listed in the ELM_THEME env variable. If a group is not found, it will check the next *.edj Digging deeper, there are two undocumented API calls in Elementary.h: EAPI void elm_theme_overlay_add(const char *item); EAPI void elm_theme_extension_add(const char *item); I think these allow the application to add their own themes app dependent *.edj, either _before_ ELM_THEME (that would be elm_theme_overlay_add() ) or _after_ ELM_THEME (that would be elm_theme_extension_add() ) The relevant code is at: http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk/TMP/st/elementary/src/lib/elm_theme.c?rev=#L50 I have not tested this, but the code looks as if it would be in working shape. Hope this is usefull nevertheless... Cheers, Thomas -- Excercise 17: If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand we'd be so simple we couldn't understand.
