[Gpephone-devel] gpe-applauncher QA check

[WANG Gang RD-ILAB-PEK]

Hi, Florian

    I post our discussion here in a hope to attract some comments from other people.

    I made a simple organization of the settings related files, so far only gpe-applauncher and gpe-phonepanel are concerned. 

    Under /usr/share/themes/<theme name>/, 4 directories contain different purposed settings files, they are:
    'homescreen', 'phonepanel', 'softkeyarea' and 'mainmenu'.

    'homescreen' harbors the Homescreen's background image and popup message icons;
    'phonepanel' contains the background image of status area and status indicators' icons;
    'mainmenu' includes all the applications' iconview icons and Mainmenu's background image;
    'softkeyarea' has the background image of softkey area.

    In our implementation, 'homescreen' and 'mainmenu' have some overlaps: the quicklaunch applications icons on Homescreen are stored in the 'mainmenu' directory. 

    My personal thought: although we have only 2 applications right now, but split the settings files by functional sectors looks more intuitive than merely put them into directories named after applications.

    I am waiting for further comments before starting changing the code.
