Comment (by jscipione):
Replying to [comment:3 bitigchi]:
IMO, the whole thing is so confusing. What's a ControlLook? What's a
Decorator? What is a "Default"? It's not even possible to translate
"ControlLook" properly.
It should just be one drop-down menu with title "System Theme", then two
entries provided by default, "Haiku" and "Be".
The Decorator name comes from Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable
Object-Oriented Software [0] page 196
Control Look should be called Façade from [0] page 208 but the person who
named it didn't know the reference and now it is too late to change. We
could change the menu field label in Appearance though.
Someday I'd like to add a color scheme list to Appearance which would
allow you to create, save, and import color scheme sets making
ThemeManager obsolete.
Master Theme switch is then possible.
Default should be renamed Haiku and DefaultDecorator should be renamed
HaikuDecorator while DefaultDecorator class should be empty and point to
HaikuDecorator. DefaultWindowBehaviour should also be renamed
HaikuWindowBehavior (US spelling please) and then DefaultWindowBehavior
class should be an unmodified child of HaikuWindowBehavior.
