Hi! [No need to CC me, I just subscribed to the list.]
Thomas pinged me yesterday on IRC and told me you guys might beinterested by the small application I have been coding lately. This "GTK Theme Torturer" mainly does two things: 1) crash test the engine by calling all the GTK paint functions with unusual parameters and 2) measure the time the theme takes to create/map/expose/resize/destroy widgets (with help from Federico Mena's widget profiler's infrastructure). Some more details and screenshots: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/GTK_for_OLPC#GTK_theme.2Fengine_torturer_and_crash_tester and you can get a tarball here: http://www.manucornet.net/pub/olpc/gtk-theme-torturer.tgz I have used it to benchmark a few themes (Clearlooks, Human, HighContrast and the OLPC theme -- for which the torturer was originally designed). The results are available as a spreadsheet here: http://www.manucornet.net/pub/Themes_performance.ods (absolute values aren't really interesting, but the ratios give some useful info). I have sent a short analysis of these tests to the OLPC list [1] and the Ubuntu list [2]. In the near future, I'll certainly be hanging around on IRC to ask some advice, if it is okay with you: I'm going to start working on the OLPC theme/engine and I'm definitely going to need some expert help/teaching/advice :) Which channel do you guys usually stay on (there was nobody on #gnome-themes on GimpNet)?
