Re: Modify theme api to use cairo - any chance to get that in?

Hi Emmanuele,

> have you even read Thomas Wood's reply to your own email?

Sure I have, its sounds like the best way to solve this problem.
However it seems to be a huge task, and the existing themes would have
to be rewritten instead of find/replace/rebuild.
Probably would take another 1-2 years.

Is there any way to get only a slightly modified theme api into GTK2?
What are arguments against it?
In the long term Thomas's solution is clearly superior, but wouldn't
such a large change be more appropriate for GTK-3 (where plans are to
introduce a new theme engine/api anyway)?
