You mean individual theme components in general, or notification themes,
specifically ?
The notification themes specifically.
For individual theme components, the appearance capplet has the
"Customize" dialog which lets you change various components
individually.
Yup, I know ;-)
That doesn't include notification themes though. The notification
daemon
includes a separate theme-switching dialog, which we don't include in
our package, because it is not really worth a separate menuitem. If
somebody feels inclined to work on it, it is probably doable to add a
notification tab to the Customize dialog. I don't think it is a high
priority though. And with gnome-shell, separate notification themes may
go away altogether.
Aah, I read something about that at gnome planet but didn't know where
to actually find it. In the appearance capplet it would be probably
better off. As about the gnome-shell -- I'm still a bit sceptic whether
it's a step a forward or just a hindrance (I haven't tried it myself yet
and available screen-casts are suggesting the later...), but to stay on
topic, I don't like the idea of notify bubbles being inthemable, or am I
misunderstanding and the bubbles will be themable as a part of some
bigger component?
