An idea for Murrine (and then Clearlooks too) 13 June, 2009

I had an idea, I don’t remember exactly who asked me for it (maybe Gyb), but it is really simple: rename all menubarstyle, toolbarstyle, menuitemstyle (etc etc…) into style[menubar], style[toolbar], style[menuitem]… same thing for other options (color[scrollbar], color[focus], shade[lightborder] etc etc…).
We actually need to write a little parser for them in murrine_rc_style.c and/or clearlooks_rc_style.c.

The thing is: I don’t have time for it in these months.

So, if someone wants to write a small patch for it… it will be merged!

Have a good weekend…

   1) style[menubar], or maybe style['menubar']..
   2) essentially for polishing and more clean names, so we can divide style properties, ratio properties, color properties… and not a full mix of options like it is today

   For future reference an explanation in the original blog post is welcome. Because I also just wondered “Why, oh why?”…
