Theme Manager
« on: October 14, 2005, 02:15:48 am »
Can a nice developer write this for the sl-cxxx series? Basically read a tar.gz file and uncompress and move.....pics, pics144 directories to /home/QtPalmtop, and move colors, zdecorations,zstyles and zthemes to the /home/QtPalmtop/etc directory. Select a "theme" default directory, backup the pics/pics144 original directories, and gzip them for backup, then kill and restart qtopia(for the theme to take affect.(may be some caches that need clearing too) but then again maybe a reboot is easier.

I could whack up an opie-sh script for that quite quickly (similar to my langswitch or bgswitch) or build a proper Qt app for it (may take longer since I am still learning the qtopia APIs)

that would be great, that way changing themes is quicker and easier then (un)installing an ipk, and they can carry several themes with them


i suppose a opie-sh script would be fine at first then a full blown qt app would be later.
