Themes, Icons, and Backgrounds / Window decorations in OPIE: a limited selection

« on: March 31, 2004, 07:45:07 am »

Well, looking at the code on the opie-themeing distibution,
the flat decoration is the only one that has an obvious image
input to me.  In flat.cpp there are hard-coded xpm images
for the OK, ?, and maximize buttons.

If I nerd-out later tonight perhaps I\'ll play with that a bit.  Seems
like those could either be hard-changed or made to read in a user
supplied xpm for each button.

Themes, Icons, and Backgrounds / Window decorations in OPIE: a limited selection

« on: March 30, 2004, 10:48:10 pm »

I\'m frustrated that OPIE only offers a limited number of window decoration styles (ie, the widgets like the \"OK\" and \"?\" buttons).  I find myself using the \"flat\" decorations because the others are quite ugly.

I noticed that the zStyle application for the Sharp ROM uses a different kind of decoration (it has a myStyle.decorations plain text file that specifies .png images for the different buttons).

Why is there such a limited selection in OPIE?  zStyle appears to be similar to opie-theme application --- are they related?  Can similar .decoration files work with OPIE.

I\'d love to hear from anybody who\'s customized their window decorations.
