It sort of works something like this: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
edje does themes, one of it's tricks is to have standard theme-able elements. |
| 26 |
Title bars look like this, menu text looks like that, and so on The advanced |
| 27 |
config lets you change these settings to be different to what is coded into |
| 28 |
the theme in use. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Which is all very fine and dandy - the same approach would let you change the |
| 31 |
images used for min, max, close buttons for example. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Except I've never actually seen the dialog DO something. I've fiddled with |
| 34 |
various settings and ... nothing changes. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
So I dunno. Maybe it's dead code and not a single dev has ever noticed. |
