Playing with SVG...

Hi all,

As you may (or may not) know yet, xfwm4 4.4 supports a wide range of
image formats, including SVG as long as the underlying gdk-pixbuf loader
supports it (ie you have librsvg installed).

It took me a long time but I finally came out with some SVG theme for xfwm4.

You can grab it here:

 - Theme: http://www.foo-projects.org/~olivier/themes/Xfwm4-Kokodi-4.tar.bz2

Now the question is, should I switch to this for default 4.4 theme?

Q: What if someone doesn't have librsvg installed?
A: The theme features PNG as fallback if SVG is not supported

Q: The PNG theme doesn't look exactly the same as the SCG one
A: Yes, I know, it seems inkscape doesn't render the SVG exactly the
same as librsvg.

Q: Do you plan to convert all existing themes to SVG?
A: Definitely not! It took me a lot of work to make this theme, and I
can't do that for all existing themes...

Q: Why not converting the current default theme to SVG then?
A: See previous answer.

Q: But anyway, what's wrong with current default?
A: Nothing's wrong, it looks a bit too much like Clearlooks Metacity
theme maybe, but that's not intended since the current default theme is
derived from my theme Just4fun [1] I released a while back in may '05.

So, opinion, anyone?

Cheers,
Olivier.
