Bug 94778 – [EFL] Drop default theme concept

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit EFL

[Ryuan Choi]

As discussed on Bug 94670 and IRC(#webkit-efl),

Efl port provides default.edj and it can be used as a default theme for applications.
But, webkit1/efl does not provide a way for applications to know the location of it.
And webkit2/efl sets it as a default (Bug 90107), so that WebCore always try to access default theme although applications want to change theme.

In order to fix addressed issues,
first suggestion is leaving it up to the user to call ewk_view_theme_set() and providing a path of default.edj in a PC file.

We already provide a `datadir' variable in ewebkit.pc, so it's just a matter of calling `pkg-config --variable=datadir ewebkit' in an application's configure.ac or whatever to get the path to the default theme.

Yes, we provide datadir. but I think that we need to provide a path including name('default.edj') or just name.

I don't find it necessary; people[1] already make do with what's provided. People shouldn't need to worry much about the default theme anyway -- as we briefly discussed yesterday (I don't remember if on the bug or on IRC), if we set the default theme by default most people won't ever need to use it again.

OK if then, do you want to just drop default theme concept from webkit2/efl ?

When I implemented theme API for webkit2/efl, I accepted drott's suggestion because default theme looks reasonable (I thought that almost applications may use default theme).

But now, I think that we'd better to remove default theme because WebCore always access default.edj although user change theme path.

Yes -- ewk1 and ewk2 could just set the default theme on initialization and after that it should not be able to differentiate between the themes passed to it.

Dominik, does that make sense to you?

Makes sense to me, seemed overly complicated from the beginning.
