Using some sort of package for resources (WAD, 7z/LZMA etc)
Created by: JacobSinclair
I was thinking, would it not be a good idea to have all the OS' resources (audio, images, themes etc.) This would be good, as (if you did have some sort of theme system, another thing you could implement :P) you could have an in-built theme manager/installer that downloads the packaged up themes. This would mean you could have multiple themes in a folder and switch between them on the go. And, if this isn't already an advantage in your eyes, often when a program accesses files inside a .zip, .7z or (this is in WAD1 format compressed) .wad files (And yes, .wad as in the wads that doom use (the format is very versatile)), it uses less RAM and filesystem calls (this might not be too technically correct, but I tried my best. I'm not that tech-savy when it comes down to the RAM and components like that)
