For release, create several themes:

* The usual terminal ones (green/black amber/black, etc)
* A few different ones with new artwork
* Remove white dunes (too low-res)
* Add several backgrounds
* Add clicks

Sure. It may need a small code change, but should be no problem.

Funny, thing I was thinking of making a bg for Marave on my trip to work today ;-). 
The idea is to put a couple of clipped sheets of paper on grass (when spring finally 
comes ofc ;-) ) among some early spring flowers. I might shoot this photo if I don't 
forget about it till april ;-P.

It would be a good idea to add theme-able colors for words that failed spell 
checking - eg in winter theme, the bg is dark, the text is white, but if you make a 
mistake the text is dark red, which is hard to read (and no dictionaries contain all 
possible words). I think underlining the wrongly spelled words in normal text color 
would be better than changing the ext color.

Yes, the current default is not good.

I did it because the wavy bright red underline was garish :-)

Could you check if r151 looks nicer?

I have contacted Partners in Rhyme for permission to use their nice click sound 
collection.

Added support for SVG backgrounds and a sample SVG in r153 but performance seems 
awful to me.

In r155, changed it so it's rendered to a qimage so performance is equivalent to 
bitmaps.

Also, changed scaling to smooth transform since on a SVG the fast transform's bad 
quality is very visible!

Got authorization from Prtners in Rhyme to use their click sound collection in 
Marave.

My request:

   Question: A question about the free click sounds. I am working on a free software 
project
   called Marave (<URL:http://marave.googlecode.com>http://marave.googlecode.com 
and it has a
   feature where the user gets audible feedback for keys. I was wondering if it was 
possible to
   use your royalty free click sounds? Because of the way the project works they 
would be
   available for download as part of the source code, and would be installed as .wav 
files in
   the application\'s folder. Thanks in advance for your answer.


Their answer:

Yes, that would be fine. As long as it just the click sounds then you have our 
permission to use
them in you software.

That's about it for artwork, I'm rather happy with what is there now. Of course, this issue 
can be reopened any time with new ideas!
