i'll tell you something about e themes: so you have teh possibility to make everything constist of what you want ant look like you want it. if i have the time i will make you an e theme that uses hardly äny images and as little layers as possible it will be very fast in comparison. best example for single layer atm should be the toolbars in elm and illume using gry* theme, which can be made even faster if you use some tricks (yes i have something specific in mind but i dunno if i'll actually impelent it (no the user wont SEE any desing difference, but the code-wise design would get ugly and i dont think i want that). if you want to theme e you will probably need more time to get into it, but a soon as you are in it you can radiacally change the way it behaves and the way it looks. you have much more possibilites which means moch more potential for optimization the gtk will ever give you, because the desing of gtk limits you VERY MUCH, edje doesn't. i've wrote 3 themes until now (of which 2 have been released third one was playground for exploiting how far one can go using edje, when you see it you'll shit bricks!). i can make gry* even faster, but the them is still in development and there still soem decisions to make before i can start to kick out even the last bit of unneeded stuff (also it gets a little tricky if you try not to use any images and still want to make it look good also testing is required to find out what gives you ultimate speed with nice looks...) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
