Theme

We are still finding out how that works.

Atm we have two different ways:

• new one (created by Hannes): defines a BasePath and a Filename in game's folder "Resources", and in the middle the players race is filled in

       private const string MusicThemeBasePath = "Resources/Themes";
       private const string MusicPackFileName = "MusicPacks.xml";

Advantage: easier to code Disadvantage: files are separated

• this new one is already done for \Resources\UI, but there only the *.png are included, no xaml. (Example: shipyard_dock.png for each race)

• suggestion (by reg): doing all new stuff into \Resources\Themes, separated by played race.

• an older option is to put all files into one folder and separate it by filename (examples: fed_destroyer.png, card_destroyer.png, another example: audio files for TaskForceOrders)

• maybe for StartGame-Screen: \Mainline\SupremacyClient\themes\Default.xaml

   <ResourceDictionary Source="/SupremacyClient;component/themes/Global.xaml"/>
   <ResourceDictionary Source="/SupremacyClient;component/themes/MessageDialog.xaml"/>
   <ResourceDictionary Source="/SupremacyClient;component/themes/MenuScreen.xaml"/>

• \Mainline\SupremacyClient\themes\Global.xaml

   <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/Geometry/Glyphs.xaml" />
   <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Resources/Images/Resources/Icons.xaml" />
