RE: [Bug-gnubg] GTK themes for GNUBG

[Albert Silver]

I went and read the Readme. I'm not sure I understood correctly, but
here is a key excerpt from it:

"Seems as we have to wait, until the PHP-GTK supports GTK2.
BUT: The libpixmap is just for loading images OTHER THAN XPM.
-> You can replace the pictures in the themes with *.xpm images (use
GIMP to convert the pictures).
Remember the pixmap path /share/gtk/themes/ - you should rename the xpm
files to a leading "{THEME_NAME}_*.xpm
The "brushed" themes shows that pictures are possible."

What exactly does the author mean by it working if the pictures are
converted to .xpm format? I am unfamiliar with the format, but it sounds
as if the PixMap issue is only a temporary one if one converts the
pictures to this format, no? Or did I misunderstand what he wrote?
