LXAppearance becomes the most feature-rich Gnome-free gtk+ theme changer.

As stated in previous posts, LXAppearance is currently being rewritten. Today, the rewrite is finished.
Now LXAppearance becomes the most feature-rich Gnome-free gtk+ theme changer.
Let’s see a screenshot:
If the gtk+ theme you use supports color schemes, such as Clearlooks, you can customize these colors in LXAppearance, just like what you can do in gnome-appearance-properties.

Later, LXAppearance2  will replace LXAppearance and move to lxappearance git repository.

Main features of LXApppearance2:

  1. Depends on gtk+ only. Can work completely without gnome.
  2. Friendly and Gnome HIG compliant user interface
  3. Provides real-time preview of the selected themes
  4. Changes icon theme
  5. Changes cursor theme in a almost desktop independent way.
  6. Supports color schemes. You can change the color used by themes if the themes support gtk color scheme.
  7. Able to install/remove icon and cursor themes in a user-friendly way
  8. Provides additional options for gtk toolbars
  9. Able to turn off event sound provided by libcanberra-gtk-module.
  10. Changes default font used by gtk+ applications
  11. Although this is a LXDE component, it works perfectly well outside LXDE and it has no LXDE dependencies.

To get the latest source code in development:
git clone git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/lxappearanceIf you’re a happy user and you want to donate, my PayPal account is pcman.tw@gmail.com.

Please get it heavily tested and give some feedbacks. Patches is also welcomed.
Cheers!

    please, also add ability to remove underlines (gtk-enable-mnemonics and/or gtk-auto-mnemonics), they are just ugly to look at and everything looks bloated with them shown.
