To comfort users that use multiple XDisplays.

Include GNU gettext.

i.e. use "Maroon" instead of "#B03060".

Add so called poptards to feature list.

Future themes will be writable as lua-scripts.
This will provide endless possibillities in design and will also be more easily extensible than that shabby parser I wrote.

Legacy theme parsing will stay supported a while but probably not improved.
As LUA syntax is very similar to legacy themes, it will be withdrawn with version 1.0.0.
This is linked to Issue #3.

Incorporate the icon lookup mechanism described in the freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification.

There should be fallback values for the drawing operations, in case there is no theme file.

Windows with rounded corners look pretty shitty with compositing managers that draw shadows.
Also the edges are not "click-through".
Some compositing managers like compton make exceptions in shadow-drawing for windows that use the Shape-Extension, so this would solve both problems

Include controll by DBus.

Save the image-cache on shutdown and load the PNGs on startup.

When I run the following:

notificathor; sleep 1; thor-cli -b2/3

I get the following error message:

Protocoll error: Did not receive ACK (0x1b instead) .

However, I can get thor-cli to work by telling the daemon not to fork (via -n).

One should be able to choose the screen on which the notification is apearing.

A new theme parser featuring a new syntax, mathematical processing of values, conditional statements and more.

This is linked to Issue #3 .

Right now, when using the x and y properties while suppressing elements with --no-image and --no-bar the application will not center the remaining elements properly.
Therefore a more flexible system for custom layouts will need to be introduced.
