Use XDG dirs for themes (1.62 KB, patch)
2012-08-05 21:12 UTC, Matthias Clasen 		committed Details | Review

Description William Jon McCann 2009-08-19 18:52:22 UTC 
.themes predates the XDG dirs spec.  We should probably use XDG dirs for newly added themes and handle .themes as a legacy.
Comment 1 Jens Granseuer 2009-08-21 11:59:29 UTC 
Since themes are read by metacity, gtk+ first and foremost this isn't something the control center can change.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2011-03-17 15:00:01 UTC 
Mass move to gnome-tweak-tool, for theme handling bugs.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2012-06-19 10:21:14 UTC 
gtk and mutter have been fixed now

Use XDG dirs for themes

Make $XDG_DATA_HOME/themes the preferred location for user themes.
We still look in $HOME/.themes for compatibility.
