---++ %MAKETEXT{"Purpose"}%
The goal of this project is to produce a GUI application for the production of Rockbox themes. The editor will handle the compilation of all the files associated with a theme, but the most significant task will be the WPS editor. The final product will include a syntax-highlighting code editor for WPS files with instant preview. If everything goes according to schedule, the editor should also include a drag-and-drop interface to WPS creation by the end of the Summer.

---++ %MAKETEXT{"Status"}%
The editor now allows displaying, previewing, and some graphical editing of documents and extensive project management. The current editor source code can be found in the trunk of the Rockbox Git tree, in the utils/themeeditor/ subdirectory. With a Qt4 build environment set up on a unix system, you can compile it with the command "qmake" followed by "make", and run it with the command "./rbthemeeditor". See also QtBuildEnvironment on how to set up the build environment.

Spiffying up the documentation for the end of SOC. I'll still be making changes, but I'm now finished with working full-time on the editor.
