Questions: Generalizing? Gradle? Still active/latest?
According to the {HOME}/.IntelliJIdea14/config/options.xml files, using: IntelliJ IDEA 14 RC1 build 139.144, the L&F is:
<component name="LafManager">
<laf class-name="com.intellij.ide.ui.laf.darcula.DarculaLaf" />
</component>
But the class in this repository is: com.bulenkov.darcula.DarculaLaf - so therefore: Is this repository the HEAD? Or have JetBrains made further developments in closed source? If so, could you please open source this pretty please? ;)
Also, in the build/darcula.jar, there's a package: com.intellij.uiDesigner.core, but it is not available in the source - what is this for? Is there any dependency on this package, or is it just metadata (find-in-all-files makes me inclined to guess that the answer is yes...)
Could you possibly make this project use Gradle for building? That would make understanding it all much easier, and would simplify dependency management.
I'd like to create an Intellij plugin that allows developers to create their custom appearance via JSON/CSS only and leave out any Java and compilation... I think this would spark many people to create their custom themes instead of there being 3-4 themes available.
Then I'd like to use this plugin to create my own port of Sublime Text 3 theme: Cyanide which is darker than Darcula.
Thoughts?
