[Splashy-devel] Re: A Splashy Configuration Tool

[Vincent Amouret]

Hello,

i write you this mail to explain how i implemented the themes, same if
it isn't what you think( what you said on #splashy).


The program you find at
http://k0fman.t35.com/splashy-config/gsplashy/src/splashy-config
(really very bugged at this time)
work like that:
/et/splashy/config.xml is the config file used by splashy

/etc/splashy/themes is the directory which store th themes foldres

/etc/splashy/themes/default/config.xml is the config file of the theme
called "default"
All that it's ok.

I added a branch to the config.xml file, so (all) the config files are
like that:
<splashy>
  <Theme>
    <name></name>
    <description></description>
  </Theme>
<!-- and after naothing changed -->
.
.
......
</splashy>

When you select a theme that display in the different fields of the
GUI the parsing result of /etc/splashy/themes/default/config.xml (if
you selected the default theme)
Then when you click the apply button, the file :
/etc/splashy/config.xml is overwritten by the
/etc/splashy/theme/default/config.xml file.

To remember the themes which are installed, i used an index file
(/etc/splashy/themes/index.txt) which contain th result of an ls
command.

You can see the source code at:
http://k0fman.t35.com/splashy-config/gsplashy/src


Voilà, it was only to be clear.

I would like to know if that are appropriate to you, if it isn't
splashy compliant show me the way.

bye. 

I join a screenshot to summarize it.
