Joshua, The Cusis them is actually something I started to implement when Mike created it a few years ago. This is when I discovered that the theme support needs an overhaul.
Emilio, Yes, loading from something such as an ini file will work, although I think a format such as CSS is more appropriate. I don't have anything special to say about the code, but if you ask then I can add my response to the wiki: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Developer_Documentation Regarding pulling changes, we are using git, just not on github. So everything you know about git still applies: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Accessing_Git_repository What I would do, if I were you and you want to maintain a fork on github, is something like this: Create a repository on github git clone --origin upstream git://lmms.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lmms/lmms cd lmms git remote add -t master origin <path-to-github-repo> git push --force origin This will clone all the LMMS repo onto your computer, the official repo is named "upstream". Then you add a remote repo for your newly created github repository named "origin". Then you push all of the commits to your github repo. For maintenance, you can do something like: git push origin # Push changes to origin whenever you like git pulll upstream # Occasionally merge in changes from upstream I hope this helps. -- Paul On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 7:06 AM, Emilio Coppola <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for your answer.
