[Traverso-devel] Theming: fonts, colors, etc

[Remon]

Hi,

Currently only colors are stored in the theming file, I'd like to improve that 
situation a bit, please have a look at the 'new' format and help me figure 
out if this makes sense, if I forgot something, and so on.

<Themer>
        <general fontscalefactor="1.0" someotherthing="whatever" >
                <menus>
                        <font size="blah" />
                </menus>
        </general>
        <objects>
                <object name="AudioClipView" >
                        <colors>
                                <color name="backgroundactive" red="120" 
green="200" blue="255" />
                        </colors>
                        <fonts>
                                <font name ="cliptitle" size="9" 
type="Helvetica" />
                        </fonts>
                </object>
                <object name="VUMeter" >
                        <colors>
                                <color name="background" red="120" green="200" 
blue="255" />
                        </colors>
                        <gradients>
                                <gradient name="background" type="linear" />
                        </gradients>
                        <fonts>
                                <font name ="cliptitel" size="9" 
type="Helvetica" />
                        </fonts>
                </object>
        </objects>
</Themer>


Objects then can get their color, font and whatnot in a more convenient way:

void paint()
{
        QColor color = themer().get_color("AudioClipView", "backgroundactive");

        // Just to make clear how it 'could' be used
        bool useFontScaleFactor;
        QFont font = themer().get_font("AudioClipView", "cliptitle", 
useFontScaleFactor);
}

Gradient's saving/loading could be done by existing infrastructure btw, so one 
can use e.g. inkscape to create a gradient, store it in a file, and the 
themer loads that, or something similar :-)

Greetings,
