No, you can't easily change the colors, because the theme is build with pixmaps... You can change the default GNUstep theme colors via Preferences.app, because it's a "programmed" theme, but not with Camaelon / Nesedah (or SimpleUI). The solution would be to create a Plastik theme for Camaelon. If you want to do it, have a look at Nesedah :-) Else yes, GNUstep doesn't work well with KWin, and that's something that should be improved... > > Note that SimpleUI.theme.tgz won't work right now because it's not up > > to date with Camaelon.. I should update it.. > Yes, I got a segmentation fault when I tried to use it. Yep.. as far as I remember, it's just some missing pixmap, it shouldn't be hard to fix it.. I don't have the time right now, but I should be able to work on gnustep/etoile after tuesday, hopefully... I have a lot of things to do :-) > What else of Etoile is useable right now?

Well, Etoile for the moment is mostly about frameworks, not applications :-/ Of course we plan to work on applications, but for the moment we focused on the frameworks. So not much useable things if you are not a developer ;-) > Is there a simple painting application for GNUstep like kolourpaint? How hard > would it be to write one?

Easy to understand :-) Well, there is no painting app -- banlu started a very promising one (maliwan/blutulip), but I don't know its current status... -- Nicolas Roard "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C.
