Hi everyone > (Am I confused, or are your two paragraphs suggesting two *different* things: > one suggesting the same theme everyplace no matter where it was run from, and > the other suggesting the use of host-dependent themes?) I have not explained correctly, I'm sorry. I was talking about what you say as "host-dependent themes". Maybe the matter should _begin_ with this other question: Could be possible to have _different_ applications (no matter where they actually run) with _different_ themes in the _same_ X server? Something like http://cofio.gul.uc3m.es/~voiser/themes.png OK that's not a REAL desktop, that's two screenshots joint together, but you get the idea :) OK I hope I have explained better, but you understood me, anyway. well, maybe one day will be possible. thanks On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 17:02:59 -0500, Valdis.Kletnieks@xxxxxx <Valdis.Kletnieks@xxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 16:07:16 +0100, "david::" said: > > > Imagine A and B have both of them Gtk with different themes.
