But the desktop (KDE) IS adapting the theme - the theme is then just reading the colours from ~/.qt/qtrc. So the only thing KDE is not doing is explicitly setting GTK colours. I'm not sure if you can do this - as you say below GNOME can't. So, your main objection to Geramik, QtCuve, etc is that they read the colours from ~/.qt/qtrc and not ~/.gtkrc? Is this that BIG of an issue? It's still a resouce file, no? Therefore, I still fail to see what the problem is. It looks as if your just saying - I use GNOME, it doesn't support changing colours, so sod everything else. Allowing Galaxy to change its colours via qtrc would have no effect if the user never changed the colours via QtConfig or KControl - so there is no problem. However, if a user wishes to customise it they can - giving them the choice. > >FYI, GNOME doesn't have dialog to change theme colors... So this problem >is currently not a problem under GNOME.. Well it is a problem under GNOME - why should users not be able to set the colours of themes? > >What you are asking for is clearly based on a KDE centric point of view.. Nope - just someone who likes to change colours - and have both toolkits look the same. Your objects are from a GNOME centric view. > >-- >Frederic Crozat >MandrakeSoft > > Craig. p.s.
