if it was mad in a modular way editors could be added later

but if it can render gradients (in app, no XaAES) then it can render images too

still the best idea I have is something written in GFA, then more
people will be able to help out with it..

as for using app to change boot time options, if you us "include
gradient.cnf" in xaaes.cnf then you can simply overwrite that file (
cat mygrad.cnf > gradient.cnf ) or the contents of it ( echo
"gradiets=mygrad" > gradient.cnf )

something like that would be even more useful for themes ( include
theme.cnf ) where more than one setting needs to be changed
