About theming Amarok
by Paulo Cesar on Sunday 13/Apr/2008, @06:19
Hi, I was theming my compiled Amarok (svn from ~2 weeks ago), and I was having some problems with colors..

The SVGs color’s on the application looked very different from the svg editor (inkscape).

I guess it’s because of that thing of colorizing the theme to match the desktop colors, and if that’s true, it’s possible to disable this? My svgs were very nice (at least for me ;) ) and I was frustrated that I couldn’t have amarok with the same colors I choose..

Besides that, congratulations for the great work! The idea of making the entire window themable with SVGs is wonderful!

Hey, if you've created a good SVG theme, you shouldn't hesitate to share it with us! We're desperately looking for new artists anyway.

We replace only certain colors.

If you don't use those colors, then they will not get replaced, see SvgTinter.cpp for the colors that are replaced.

However, any default theme would need to be tinted, for obvious reasons.
