It sort of works something like this: edje does themes, one of it's tricks is to have standard theme-able elements. Title bars look like this, menu text looks like that, and so on The advanced config lets you change these settings to be different to what is coded into the theme in use. Which is all very fine and dandy - the same approach would let you change the images used for min, max, close buttons for example. Except I've never actually seen the dialog DO something. I've fiddled with various settings and ... nothing changes. So I dunno. Maybe it's dead code and not a single dev has ever noticed. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
