I had been +planning on doing this for several months, but I had to clear off some +cruft on my root partition in order to fit all the crap in. For those +of you who have no drive space, you might check your +$PREFIX/share/themes and $PREFIX/share/locale directories (where $PREFIX +is either /usr or /usr/local) -- they were using over 100 megs of +space on my system. +

+ +On a related note, I also switched over to +Galeon as my primary +web browser (even on my piece of shit home system). Oddly enough +the bookmark importer works fine on my home system, but fails miserably +on my work machine. Also, there still isn't correct download support, +and a there are a few other quirks here and there. But overall, +I think it's a better browser than Nutscrape. +

+ +EWL is still coming along. Evas support +works correctly for the background image, and I incorperated Evas +support throughout the EWL Theme API, but it still doesn't +render widgets quite right. I'll work on that some more this week, +along with an actual working implementation of something me and +several other E developers have been talking about for a while. +The short, short version is that we're tired of using one format +for theming -- there's no reason why you can't have a dynamic +modular theme and config loading system that allows users to pick +their own format (be it a fast local database, XML, off of an SQL +server, or via http). I'll have more information if and when I have a +working sample implementaion. + -- cgit v1.2.3
