Hi Mikkel,<br>
Right now make builds all the themes but I want it to only build clearlooks. Can you help me with the<br>
makefile I need to build CL? Anybody else, Who ? (I attach the necessary files)<br>
<br>
I'm thinking of adding new style to CL like GUMMY or GLOSSY that will be<br>
called NEWWAVE or smth. And I planned to make a separate<br>
clearloocs_draw_newwave.xxx file to do the new style. What do you think?<br>
<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br>Sorry for the late reply, but I was on vacation.<br><br>If you only hack inside Clearlooks then 'make' should only rebuild the clearlooks engine, with fairly little overhead from checking if other files have changed.<br>
<br>Anyways; I think it is important that you 'write your engine' as a patch for upstream Gnome. This also means that you should not rip it out of the source tree. It is generally frowned upon to just fork engines (like Fedora forked Murrine to create Nodoko) and it is also a great maintenance burden. If you can get it included as a patch upstream you are pretty much safe, and will benefit from later developments (including security fixes!) of the Clearlooks engine.<br>
<br>The tricky part is getting it into upstream. To maximize your chances consider the following:<br><br> * Make sure to touch as little as possible of the existing code<br> * Follow the code style and terminology of the existing code base<br>
* Make the code easily understandable (fx good variable names, and comment the non-obvious sections)<br></div></div><br>Make sure you have a clean current svn snapshot by running 'svn up' and resolving any conflicts (likely none if you've kept your changes non-intrusive). Then run 'svn diff > new_wave_style.patch' and attach it to a bug report on Gnome's bugzilla (<a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org">bugzilla.gnome.org</a> product: gnome-themes and component: theme-clearlooks) shortly describing why we need it (maybe link to mockups/screenshots).<br>
<br>At your service,<br>Mikkel<br>
