GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 354581
Theme manager has no CLI tool to install themes.
Last modified: 2006-10-02 22:13:27 UTC
Theme manager has no command line arguments so a them can be installed through the comomand line interpreter.
Confirmed. Should the theme manager ask for confirmation before installing a file supplied on the command line?
Sure, a clear usecase here would be, a user who accidentally performs double click on a theme package. There should be an opportunity to regret. Other kind of feedback would be worth too, for example a thumbnail of the theme at the confirmation dialog could be really useful to let the user figure out which theme is about to install. Don't know if it has implementation problems actually. BTW, since g-t-m is able to handle URI (like drag-and-drop from art.gnome.org), I wonder if URI should be supported on the CLI side.
It should use exactly the same mechanism to install the theme, so it will be able to install a theme from any URI supported by gnome-vfs.
Created attachment 73709 [details] [review] Adds an install theme option Adds the following command line option: -i, --install-theme=filename Specify the filename of a theme to install
hmm, can this be considered a new feature? If so, just commit to HEAD, if not, commit to the 2.16 branch ASAP (that is, today, for the 2.16.1 release I'm going to do)
I would consider it a new feature, so I'll be committing it to HEAD.
Committed to HEAD now.
