Getting ready for the theming hackfest

There’s now just less than a week left for the theming hackfest! I’m quite looking forward for what may happen there, it looks really promising.

So, out of excitement, I’ve began dumping some ideas into a GTK+ git repo. Of course, this is just proof-of-concept code, years light from finished, etc… but hopefully it will help make further ideas start flowing 🙂

And now a meaningless screenshot!

This is 9 separate boxes painted through the new API, it would allow containers to hand their children information about the placing context in a group, so the engine could know how to connect elements together. GtkStyleContext could contain any data, so it’s fully extensible.
