General Infos ============= This is the eXperience GTK-2 engine. Created by Benjamin Berg <benjamin@sipsolutions.net> with some help of his brother Johannes. This engine is a new GTK-2 engine, to create pixmap based themes. It is much more flexible than the old pixbuf (aka. pixmap) engine. It allows to draw widget as a stack of multiple images. The recolor command gives you the possibility to easily customize the colors used throughout the theme. To have a glance at the impressive features of this engine, you should have a look at the different color schemes of the eXperience GTK-Theme. http://benjamin.sipsolutions.net/Projects/eXperience Bugs ==== Known bugs: * There are no known engine bugs right now. (Well actually, I believe there might be problems with global variables) Other bugs that deserve mentioning (but are not engine bugs): * There is a galeon crash with the eXperience theme. This crash is not engine related! * Some icons are broken. (This is gdk bug #306364) If you happen to find any bugs, please contact me. Installing ========== You might need to run ./configure with --prefix=/usr, so that the engine will be found by gtk. Deinstalling ============ To deinstall the engine delete the created libexperience.so and libexperience.la files. You will probably find them in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/ Debian ====== There is a debian (i386 only) package available from: deb http://benjamin.sipsolutions.net/debian/ unstable/ In the repository there are also packages for the eXperience GTK-Theme and the eXperience icon theme. Theming ======= I have created some description about the engine and its features at http://benjamin.sipsolutions.net/Projects/eXperience There you find the different possible options for images, groups, etc. If you have any questions, or problems please mail me! Hacking ======= I have moved to git for development now. A public repository will be setup later.
