I also like the idea of an application that lets you easily install new
themes. I imagine an interface like this:
There is a GtkNotebook with pages for the different types of themes.
That *could* be gtk, xfwm4, icons, wallpaper, screensaver, splashscreen
and sounds. We may see if it's actually reasonable to include all of
these.
The user can click an 'install' button to choose a file or just drop a
file over the window to install a theme. Then a dialog pops up,
revealing the contained types of themes. Once the user has selected the
items he wants to install or clicked an 'install all', files will be
extracted where they belong.
Please don't use absolute paths inside theme descriptions. I wonder if
any kind of path is even needed, it should be computed be the installer
application instead.
A question appears in my head here: would this application replace the
existing interfaces like 'user interface' and the like?
Best regards,
Christian
