It would be much more productive to work on common widget themes. For example, if you're a GNOME developer, start by doing a Plastik-like theme for GNOME - Clearlooks is a good starting point, but there are noticeable differences, so a theme based on the Clearlooks engine modified to match the Plastik look would be great. Similarly, a Clearlooks-like theme for Qt/KDE 3 would also be useful (Qt 4 has one already: Cleanlooks). Right now, Bluecurve is pretty much the only option for a consistent theme, and AFAIK it doesn't have a Qt 4 port available as of now (only GTK+/GNOME 2 and Qt/KDE 3, and a GTK+ 1 version showing GTK+ 1's limitations). It would be great to have more. With a common widget theme, you might not even _notice_ anymore whether the apps you use are GNOME or KDE apps, so there's no need to reinvent applications.
The second thing to do is to patch applications to make sure they honour the button layout setting (in GTK, settable in .gtkrc, in KDE, in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals). A lot of KDE applications ignore this right now. -- Michel Salim http://hircus.wordpress.com/ My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. -- Christopher Morley -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
