Hi, In reply to Frederic Crozat, I'd like to know why the folowing is WRONG???
> 1/ is WRONG by design.. a GTK (or any other toolkit BTW) theme should > never be adapted to detect which colors the current desktop (whatever > desktop environment) is running.. I don't care if ONE theme (Geramik) is > doing that, this is wrong.. ...because? The only reason I can see is that Geramik reads its colour settings from a Qt/KDE based config file. What's the problem with this? Isn't it better that a theme designed as multi-toolkit (Geramik, QtCurve, Blue/FreeCuve, Galaxy) also use the same colour settings? Otherwise, what's the point? Hard-coding colours into a theme is just plain lazy. I don't use GNOME, so I'm not sure if you can change colours there. If not, then wouldn't the best thing to do be create a GNOME control centre-applet that sets GNOME colours, and also writes these to ~/.qt/qtc (and the KDE files)? Also the theme is not adapting itself to whatever desktop is running - it does not know which desktop is running - it just *always* reads its colour from the qt file. I can understand someone not liking Geramik because it is pixmap based - and this is a fair complaint. But to complain because it unifies the colour settings is to disregard what a LOT of users want. Surely Mandrake, as a desktop based distro, is better of trying to get as much of a unified lookas possible. If so, then why not have the theme synchronise its colours between toolkits? Saying that the user should use KDE's means to change the KDE theme, and GTK's to change GTK's takes away the whole point of the theme - to unify things. Craig. p.s. I'll admit to a slight bias here, benig the author of Geramik and QtCurve (well not so much author I suppose, as modifier...) When words aren't enough - Vodafone live!
