This is fine for GTK and KDE as they don't have 3 separate toolkits behind them. Enlightenment has the E17 widgets which theme the window manager, Ewl and Etk as toolkits. All three of these work in a differing fashion and don't depend on each other. So, are we going to suddenly require that you have Ewl or Etk installed to use E17 or have E17 installed to use Ewl? That doesn't make much sense as they're independent. Until the window manager moves over to a specific widget toolkit we're going to have duplication in our theming. dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
