Some more comments before I move on to something else:
It would be much more readable to use enumeration and named values in the rc files rather than cryptic integers:
glazestyle = 1 # 0 = flat hilight, 1 = curved hilight, 2 =
concave style menubarstyle = 2 # 0 = flat, 1 = glassy, 2 = gradient, 3 = striped menubaritemstyle = 0 # 0 = menuitem look, 1 = button look menuitemstyle = 0 # 0 = flat, 1 = glassy, 2 = striped listviewheaderstyle = 0 # 0 = flat, 1 = glassy roundness = 5 # 0 = squared, 1 = old default, more will increase roundness
Murrine Configurator is solving this problem. 95% of users use Configurator to Configure their themes, so there's no problem related, and probably it will be a problem makin the opposite. I think that with strings people may write mistakes in typing and integers prevents this. Another thing is that with "integer" i can make >= == <= comparations in the engine so i can enable/disable features in a simple way.
- While these knobs to tweak are certainly nice, the one thing that most people want to tweak in a theme are the colors. I would personally be much more interested in themes which make use of the new symbolic color mechanism in GTK+ 2.10 to create "recolorable" themes.
When there will be a GUI (i.e. gnome 2.18 will probably features this) then I will certanly manage that improvement, even with you if you know how to manage it in the right way! :)
