1 Here's the nitty gritty:

4 BACKGROUND
5 ----------
6
7 kde-look.org is a site that hosts various kde themes to change the look and feel of the kde desktop.

9 ---------
10 REASONING
11 ---------
12
13 An eclass such as this would be benificial to users that want to create custom ebuilds for various kde themes, as well as getting popular kde themes into the portage tree.
14
15 ----
16 TODO
17 ----
18
19 1) get the general skeletal eclass file going
20 2) work with multilib
21 3) integrating with kde eclasses
22
23 --------
24 FEATURES
25 --------
26
27 eclass will painlessly install themes from kde-look.org. It will also most likely utilize a tool that will tell users what attributes of kde's look and feel you can change with that particular theme (ie. theme a can only change styles and color, theme b can only change color, theme c can change everything).

31 end proposal

34 Also, while I'm on doing eclasses, I'll take a look at doing a nicer eclass HOWTO on getting eclasses working. Comments and suggesstions are welcome.
