I missed the announcement of extra.enlightenment.org, but I am glad to see a central place for themes. I hope that many of the themers like Agust (whose themes I use almost daily) and Duma will be stepping forward with updated themes.
However, I have a suggestion for themes: providing a way to allow users/distros to "brand" them (add a logo and/or distro name), something that has commonly been done. In the past some of this branding has been done by adding a logo to the background, frequently one that is not scaled. There are two problems with this approach: 1. With the restoration of the old pager that captures the background, that approach does not work well if the logo is not scaled. This means that either users revert to the plain pager or themers incorporate the distro logo into the name. 2. To add a distro name or logo to a theme means decompiling, modifying and recompiling the theme. Possible feature request: a way for end users/distros to add the "brand" to the theme the way wallpapers can be changed. I can envision two possible components here: name and/or logo to appear over the background and a logo that can changed for the start button on a shelf. I've just browsed open tasks in Phabricator and see no similar feature request open. I would be interested in feedback here before entering one. -- Produced and sent using programs and servers with Mageia Linux and open-source programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
