Use a better toolkit/canvas

Hey all,

It has been said in various places, GTK is old and horrible. And I agree. Its plain, boring and inhibits creativity for people wanting to do "new" things with canvases for themes.

Personally, I theme E17/ETK/EWL all in a relatively new and unused canvas called Edje. It gives the themer complete creative control over look, feel and animation. In GTK for instance, you cant effect how a button reacts to a click entirely. In Edje, you can make the button animate in all sorts of ways, or switch to different image/s like GTK currently does. Ive recently devised a system that can allow for user to re-colour images on the fly aswell, so most parts created by the themer can be coloured by the user.

The other positive is that Edje, built on Evas, in incredibly fast and efficient at rendering images. Gnome devs once loved all things Enlightenment, hell, the Enlightenment Sound Daemon is still used! :)
Id like to see Topaz use something better than GTK. And something drastic needs to be done to keep up with canvases like Edje.

Ive included a screenshot of a new theme im working on for comparison. I am in no means an experienced GTK themer, but its limitations are incredibly evident coming from an edje themeing background.

Ill also include a couple other fun things.
(The game is a functioning game written entirely in Edje (yes, its that powerful))

Thanks for reading!

NOTE: I am not suggesting to use E17, just suggesting the GTK canvas should have a drastic overhaul, to possibly match the power of Edje (or even incorporate Edje)
