[Kde-games-devel] Status of 'libkdegamesprivate:KGameThemeSelector'

Hi Ian,

The stuff in libkdegamesprivate is supposed to be deprecated, but it looks

I would say those games should be ported to use KgTheme, a nicer-looking

I was thinking the same. The games would eventually have to ported to KF5
when compiling with (KF5 ported) libkdegames. KgTheme and KgThemeSelector
can then be used over deprecated methods and there won't be any need for
KGameThemeSelector.

I am currently working on porting libkdegames and 3 games to test the
library. I'd be happy to do the port after my project completes

Ya, very handy indeed :)

So, can I leave KGameThemeSelector in libkdegamesprivate for now? As
porting it would be of no use as KF5 games won't be using the
KGameThemeSelector class.
