Day: Woke up, went to the gym, came back, worked, and {{plexq}}
made us some rather good quesadillas. {{Fin}} made some lovely tag icons for marnanel.org to go along with
the existing ones from rosequoll.
Theming: I would like to re-examine the {{Metacity}} theme format
for {{GNOME}} 3. To this end, I've been working on CSS theming for
Metacity. I have a reasonable first pass at it written, and several of the
standard themes converted (and several more to do). But it occurs to me
that the people who would like to create themes and the people who would be
willing to download and compile several experimental libraries are not
necessarily the same. To this end, I've created a wiki to demonstrate
the system. If you write CSS on a page whose name begins with
Borders: it will display as the result of rendering that CSS. There is a tour, which you
should take first.
Please feel free to create your own themes, either
from scratch or by making copies of the existing ones. I was going to
finish off all the sample themes before announcing this, and also to make a
theme wizard that would put together a theme for you from parts (to show how the
system is well-adapted to use with editors), but I decided it was better to
release early, release often.
Of course, now that I've announced
this, it's sure to be vandalised; I'll try to keep an eye on it, but if you
could revert any vandalism you see, I'd appreciate it. Let me know what
you think of the system, either way.
Top fives: Ask
me for my top five favourites of anything and I'll try to give a sensible
answer. So far
I've been asked for cities, words, puddings, foods, beverages, heresies, books,
and Tetris shapes. Since there are only seven Tetris shapes, that's rather
an easy question: the answer is all of them except "S" and
"Z".
