Themeing And Graphical Customization?

[bob vansteel]

Seeign as I like making themes for my portables I was wondering how it will work on the pandora. Since it's linux, will it be able to use common linux distro themes or will we be making new themes customized for the pandora?(ya that's probably a stupid question...but hey, ya never know)
And is there any chance we could get a hold of some system images a few weeks/days before shipment to start custmoizing early.

heck while we're at it discuss any thing theme related here

Yes, it would be nice to know about how customization is going to work. I'm guessing some simple theme manager within kdrive. I'm already working on my KDE skin. Just wondering, how hard would it be to port Dolphin? Rather, would it be too resource heavy for the Pandora?

Ok.... I'm tempted to say it... as impractical as it may be... I feel as though I gotta say it since it would be a nice bloated showoff tool.....

Yeah, I wonder too. Even if only as proof-of-concept or maybe something simple like a cube effect (no blur or other fancyness) would be a kickass showoff tool. Compiz + Gaming Controls = Win.

Worth trying just for the wow factor while showing it off. For those people that don't understand games but like shiny things.
