Customizable colorschemes
It would be nice if color customization would be possible. This could happen in two ways: just a different setup of the already existing colors of the Gnome-theme or selecting new colors which do not depend on the colors used in the rest of the desktop environment. Especially the first would appeal to me. I would like it very much if I could switch the text and background colors in Cardapio but keep it as it is in the rest of my Ubuntu-install.

Thanks for posting this. You actually *can* change the colors in Cardapio, although not through a graphical interface. You'll either need to edit your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file or use a theme that modifies Cardapio's look-and-feel (such as Victory http://
Of course, this is different from putting theme-related options in the Cardapio preferences window, which is what you request. As it is right now, I don't think this is ever going to happen. I'd rather focus on keeping Cardapio simple, lean, and fast.

To show you what is possible with gtkrc themeing, try adding this to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and restarting Cardapio :)
(you will need version 0.9.124 or above for this example, since I went and made theming a little easier as a result of this comment)
