Hiya,
Gotten a bit freetime on my hands lately, and been trying to do
something with it.
Entrance has a TODO item, which mentions spliting out the Background
Edje from the Main theme edje and i've started working on it.
I just want to confirm no one else is working on it so we don't
duplicate effort (and if there is, we can collaborate on that).
Currently, I have it working on my box. I split out the background from
the data/themes/default.edc into a data/themes/background.edc, then i
created a new background_edje for the main evas canvas, that loads this
background, before going ahead to load the default theme (which is now
transparent).
In the background theme, i set the part to be loaded to
'entrance/background' taking a cue from E that looks for
'desktop/background'.
There are some things remaining before it is properly done.
1. Background choosing scheme priorities:
First: User Specified At command line (-b option)
Second: Previously configured background-theme from session->config
Third: E-theme supplied (so the theme can specify an Entrance
background)
Fourth: The default background theme that comes with Entrance itself.
2. Easy configuration of this (and probably other aspects of Entrance).
I've actually been thinking it would be nice for a Entrance Config to
look and feel like the rest of E's configs, so i was thinking of an
Entrance configuration module, but doing that would make entrance
dependent on E, and users may not be able to mix and match
Entrance/GNOME or Entrance/Fluxbox without installing E as well. Any
ideas here?
Anyways, i think that the background themeing can be done without a UI
config _ATM_.
Also, do i begin to send in my patches so far? Or do i wait to have the
full picture before i send the patch? I know _big_ patches are not
really liked by anyone.
Finally... any ideas?
Cheers,
Essien
