Engine
Candido Engine is the Gtk2 cairo-based engine for new Candido themes.
This engine was expecially designed to be fast light and clean, and to be wonderful as Candido pixmaps themes, and different.
Yes Candido Engine is different, it's more contrasted and more flat, that's my new Candido proposal!
