The current branch-1.3-porting in svn and git is (or will be) the future
branch 1.4. Its internal version number is already 1.4.0, but its name
is branch-1.3-porting for historical reasons.

Development of the new theming feature (likely: Fl_Scheme) has not yet
been started. There are only ideas and a basic plan: in general the plan
is only to rebuild the existing FLTK schemes using a more modular  way
with a class hierarchy with virtual methods, similar to the driver
classes that already exist in branch-1.3-porting.

The first step will allow different box types, just as it is now.
Following steps should allow to change more graphical elements like
arrows, check boxes, maybe scrollbars, etc.. The main goal is more
flexibility w/o the need to change the library code to add a new scheme.
New schemes should basically be implemented in one header file and one
source file, maybe loadable like plugins, but at least linkable with the
application, like any other class you develop yourself. If you want to
create a new scheme you should be able to derive your own My_Nice_Scheme
class from any existing Fl_Scheme_Something class and implement only the
details that should be different.

So far the plan...
