NOTES

These are some mind-dumps I do occasionally when I need to clear my head.

Directory Structure

All the temporary stuff should be put Packages/User. That is the theme-cache.

Base directory: Packages/Theme - Rainbow/

Directory	Type of Files
/	Basic stuff
/assets	Assets for the themes
/settings	Widget Settings Files
/widget-scheme	Widget Scheme Files
/themes	Generated themes
/rainbow_lib	The magical entity that creates magic.
/themes/icons	Sidebar icons for the themes
/metadata	Generated Sidebar Icon metadata for the themes

Beyond this, it's out of date.

Flow of Package and Regeneration

Task (Where is it handled?)

Initialization (plugin_loaded())

1. Load and Compile Templates (Compiler.load_templates)
2. Cache Templates (TemplateCache.cache_templates)

Compile on Change (rainbow_adapt_theme)

This command merely calls the run command on the Adapter. All the donkey work is done there.

Compilation Process

It's written in a self-documenting manner in rainbow_lib/commands.py
