Howdy folks!

Has there been any thought put into how to accomplish some sort of theme
support with AS1.5?  I was thinking about a standard sort of packaging and
a standard install (and uninstall) script.  

The way I figure it, we need to be able to handle the following items for
themes:

look file
feel file
titlebar button files
wharf pixmap
icon background pixmap (may or may not be the same as wharf pix)
icons (perhaps we should have the restriction to only use icons in
       the distribution so we don't pass hundreds of icons around)
title bar pixmaps
background pixmaps

I think that about covers it.  I am willing to do some work on this, but I
just wanted to touch base and see if someone was already doing stuff like
this.  

BTW - This whole sort of operation kind of assumes that the
GNUstep/Library/Afterstep heirarchy will remain as is for some meaningful
length of time.  Is that a reasonable assumption??
