Actually, I am working on "Human" right now, with "Clearlooks" being the next stop.

There is no chameleon docs because the whole interface is still in development...

Anyway, I think once "Human" is finished, it will serve as an example well to provide other themes.

Another aspect of theming are the icons.
Any plans to create sets for Gnome and KDE?
I thought for a while about automating the task by writing a script, that converts icons from /usr/share/icons for upp purposes.
I'm not sure though, if that is so trivial as it sounds.
Probably I need to write a little upp utility, that does the image conversion itself, or could imagemagick do that?

Actually, I was planning to just load them Smile

I am not just quite sure how to find the proper path correctly. Anyway, for start, I think even fixed paths would do.... (Well, in fact, at the moment we are speaking just about 3 icons for Prompt message boxes..)

To tell the truth, I think that for next releases we really should attempt to use GTK theming API... (GTK is LGPL, dynamic linking to it would be OK).
