Well, it should work, and I'm working on Camaelon. Which version did you use ? the one from Etoile's cvs, or the one from the svn ? We recently moved to svn, so the cvs version is deprecated.. Secondly, you need a recent version of the GNUstep gui libraries -- with the svn version of Camaelon, you possibly need the GNUstep cvs version actually. Lastly, did you install a theme ? And which one ? because at the moment only Nesedah is working (Nesedah.theme.tgz on http://www.roard.com/gnustep/), SimpleUI.theme.tgz is a bit outdated, while I use Nesedah to test things so it's sure to be up to date. Considering the general state of theming in GNUstep, well, it works through Camaelon, and I'm also working on integrating directly on gnustep the parts of Camaelon that modify AppKit widgets' drawing, so it will be even easier to create a theme engine (other than using Camaelon, say, if you want a theme engine for GNUstep/Windows that will use the Win32 theme api in order to have a proper integration.. or if you want a "programmed" theme) -- Nicolas Roard "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C.
