I would but this is problematic on Vista. A normal user does not have permission to edit files inside the TortoiseHg install directory, which is where the theme selection currently takes place. I would like to have a general solution for this, but it will likely have to wait till the next release. For 0.7, I plan to tweak the default theme as little as possible to make it work on Vista and XP. -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
