awn-dialog color customization: gtkrc -> more friendly GUI

[Timon_and_Pumba]

For new users it is hard to find out and unfriendly that the colors of the awn-dialog can be customized using the gtkrc file. In addition, most of the other customizations can be done via awn-manager. I would like to see that the colors of the awn-dialog can be customized via awn-manager.

Okay, we need to have a nicer wrapper around this.

If we let awn manager choose colours, it can create a gtkrc file and save it in ~/.config/awn, which awn-dialog can read. If the file doesn't exist, then awn-dialog will use
normal gtk colors.

Everyone cool with that? The reason that we need GtkRC support is that awn-dialog is the only part of Awn where normal GtkWidgets can go, and which we have no control over. GtkRC-support means that we can theme everything without trouble.

I think it's a good idea. I absolutely cringe at the idea of of editing of gtkrc files.

With the work going on with RGBA support in the gtk theme engines I'm looking forward to being able to rip a bunch of customized cairo code out of applets like system monitor and leave just the basic gtkrc support :-)

Bump !

Is there any chance o have it for Jaunty ?

[Mark Lee (malept)]

Nope. Jaunty's feature freeze was last month.
