Hi all,
the last bit in the default panel that wasn't themeable with cute svgs was the
pager, so i've added the support for loading an svg theme (it will still
fallback to normal rendering if the svg or an svg element is not found), and
with a theme done with nuno it's how it looks like:

in the screenshot the active desktop is the second and the mouse is over the
third
taking with nuno on how it should be to really look good some points had
emerged (that will need an agreement :)
it should look as less cluttered as possible, since it will fill with many
micro windows that looks very busy, nothing should be added to that, so:
* desktop number/name will appear only on mouse over (maybe even animate in
the future)
* window icons disabled by default
the panel should be less tall to make the task icons exactly the same size of
the systray icons (it should need a separate discussion :)
so the pager if has two lines the mini desktops are really too mini and if it
takes one row they becomes too big and takes up a big amount of the panel.
so some margin is added, used to draw the background similar to the other
themed applets (like the systray in the screenshot) that both makes coherence
with other applets and makes the pager of just the right size (tm) to make a
single line pager tat looks i was also thinking about disabling the
background and the margins if the size of the mini desktops becomes too
little
how it seems? comments on the various points?
Cheers,
Marco Martin
