Let's see when you implement it. I have some remark: * you didn't use the _elm_data_dir value for the theme in elm_theme.c. So i can't get the theme path on win ce * for the win ce port, with a small modification (the previous remark), i can load the theme, the window is resized, but then the program exits. I don't know why yet (that behavior is usually a seg fault) and it's not easy to debug on thaat platform :) * i have written a small test that i use for win ce, and it does not behave correctly with X. If I resize the main window to size w x h, i obtain other values for h. Are you aware of such behavior ? I can provide the small test example, if you want Finally, one question: may I commit the patch for win xp, without the modification in test.c ?
