I actually half wrote a g-cpan.pl like thing for kde-look.org once. It could handle themes and wallpapers. I never got around to the rest. I think something like this would be better in the long run since the eclass will only serve to make people file more new ebuild bugs for stuff the kde team won't add. --Iggy > > ---- > TODO > ---- > > 1) get the general skeletal eclass file going > 2) work with multilib > 3) integrating with kde eclasses > > -------- > FEATURES > -------- > > eclass will painlessly install themes from kde-look.org. It will also most likely utilize a tool that will tell users what attributes of kde's look and feel you can change with that particular theme (ie. theme a can only change styles and color, theme b can only change color, theme c can change everything). > > > ------------ > end proposal > ------------ > > Also, while I'm on doing eclasses, I'll take a look at doing a nicer eclass HOWTO on getting eclasses working.
