There's too much for myself to program as well, and I would need to learn
the architecture to implement anything... Either way, I'll be unable to do
it, too much I'm unfamiliar with. In RGBA enabled themes through, could you
set a short gradient to start at 100% then fade into semitransparency for a
smooth blend, correct?

In the meantime I've been looking at Murrine and it's drawing routines. Next
week I'll be going on a short vacation, and scanning my designs for what I
sketched as the Kin interface; I'd like to try to incorperate some
kith/kin-ish features into the gnome panels (particularly the wireline).
Would the panels support RGBA in Murrine?

I know I'm asking quite a bit, I'd just like to see where all this could go.
It's probably a good thing I'm not curious about the garbage disposal unit
in my sink too, or I'd be typing a lot slower...
