GTK Theme Maker


Applications

Description:

This is a group for the development of GTK Themer. Help is needed for UI design, code design, coding, and testing.

Right now there is no program. It is only a concept. Here is what I am thinking of(I'm no design expert so I need help on this part):
At first the program will only support murrine, unless someone can explain the other engines to me.
The program will be interactive, it will display widgets as they will appear in the theme. They can be edited by clicking on them, and either a pop-up or a separate pane will allow the user to edit the look of the widget. Styles will also be able to be custom matched to multiple widgets. Theme will be exported, and possible compressed and ready to publish.

I'm not so sure about importing gtk files, though. I will have to use a custom file type until someone show me how I can parse a gtk file to set certain variable values. (the ones that will allow editing)

I will most likely use the gpl licence, and code the program is c.

And I promise you, if you help out you will be in the credits ;)

 Good Idea but...

 
 by snkiz on: Jul 25 2010

There really is no need to reinvent the wheel. The widget factory is a very capable display, it just needs a little love. Gnome color chooser can let you customize basic properties, although it is limited. And Cimi has a link for a murrine customizer gui somewhere on his site, again needs love last I saw it. The point is any of those projects are looking for someone to love them, they have a solid base that actually works. I for one would love to see a twf thats been updated with new widgets, can handle on the fly editing graphically or by coding the GTKRC directly. Sadly a coder I am not. I wish you luck even if you create something that can just preview changes on the fly it would be a godsend to many.

Oh and TheRob is pretty cocky for a pixfbuf themer.

I successfull run it: I can't test it too much, because it let me select only Murrine as engine and follow the rules of murrine stable version, while I'm using the git one, so themes saved by gtkThemeMod results not usable for me.. but maybe I've to try more..
Anyway it can suggest something to whom wants to buld a smilar project.. even if I maybe I would say.. please no MONO!! :)

I wasn't able to compile it or run it, and I don't like mono too much, so I'm still going to work on my project. I know c# so I was able to understand what the code did (I think) and it didn't look much like what I want to make, even though it did look good. I am still working on my program, but right now I am side tracked learning how to use glade. I am also studying the actual gtk source code, and have hopefully found some more ways to display and analyze rc code. if not, I will have to build a custom rc parser in order to import themes. right now I only know how to parse to use a particular gtkrc's style, not actually get values from the rc code.

I would also like to say I am working on this program as a way to learn gtk. I know there are other programs that are out there that do similar things, but I want to make something better, help some people out, and learn some while I'm at it :)

Mono is basically the .net framework for Linux ;) It is getting more and more popular, but in my opinion it doesn't work as well as a program that is complied for Linux, using something like gcc or g++.

and sorry if I sounded angry at anyone... I was kind of frustrated with how slow my progress is, and how I really didn't prepare for anything before I jumped into this project :( not to mention theRob's "helpful" comment.

 Not giving up but...

I'm not going to scrap the project, but I am going to put it off until later, once I learn enough to do it. I guess I jumped into this too early, and to be completely honest, I don't even know c! But the program will appear after a while. I am still working hard to learn gtk, c and glade, so maybe in about a half a year to a year the first release will be ready ;)
