Re: GNUstep's default theme...

[James Carthew]

Ricardo: Now that dbuskit exists, is it possible to make System Preferences plugins for configuring Xrandr, pulseaudio, and network-manager? This would make System Preferences useful for configuring the system. I've looked at Etoile and there's a lot of project duplication. They have their own version of system preferences which frankly is api-compatible and duplicating functionality. I think the ideal would be to merge parts of etoile into gnustep. The EtoileMenuServer.app program completes the functionality of the horizontal Macintosh Menu Style in terms of making gnustep act like OSX. I'd like to see it get rolled into gnustep as an optional add-on, and integrate it with system preferences plugins so that you can have a dropdown on the menubar for volume control, wireless network selection, and screen resolution selection like OSX has.

At the DevMeeting (and a bit since), Quentin and Eric have been working on making the Aristo2 theme from Cappuccino ( http://www.cappuccino-project.org/aristo/ and http://www.cappuccino-project.org/aristo/showcase/ ) work with GNUstep.  I think it's a nice choice, as it's clean, consistent, and looks like the sort of thing that new users are used to from web apps.
