Custom themes

[DustyPorViva]

Right now, Graal uses the WBA format for themes... this is great and all, but if I want to make my own theme, I don't want to have to mess with the Window Blinds system for making them. It's pretty damn complicated, not to mention it's not free. Now, I know Graal can use the GUI system for themes, as you can set it to default and use the blue GUI graphics for everything...

What I suggest is a way for us to create our own themes using the GUI set-up. Perhaps a file like... mytheme.gut(graal user theme?) that is just a text file that directs Graal to the appropriate profile images:

PHP Code:

GuiWindowCtrl=DustyTheme/dusty_windowctrl.png
GuiScrollCtrl=DustyTheme/dusty_scrollctrl.png 


So on and so forth. This way we can make our own themes really easy, without having to rely on a non-free, third party program that is pretty convoluted. Sorry, but I don't want to make a whole Windows theme, I just want to make my Graal look half-way decent... not to mention most WBA themes have something wrong with them.

Sadly, I can't think of a format that would allow us to customize the profiles(text color, transparency and such)... perhaps an XML format that expands the GUIprofile variables?

PHP Code:

<GuiWindowCtrl>
  bitmap = "DustyTheme/dusty_windowctrl.png";
  textcolor = {255,255,0,255};
  transparency = .5;
</GuiWindowCtrl>

<GuiScrollCtrl>
  bitmap = "DustyTheme/dusty_scrollctrl.png";
  textcolor = {0,0,0,255};
</GuiScrollCtrl>
