Oh, dear; what a donkey!

Nope. What happens if you uncheck it and restart Icewm?

It never even occurred to me to try anything else, such is my faith in WhoDo's omniscience.

You will have gathered by now that the simple expedient of changing the setting from on to off was exactly right. So now it's fine. Didn't even need to restart Icewm

Thanks.

Hello Everyone, I'd like to present one of my IceWM themes: Platinum-1

Click here for some waffle about my theming business.

A couple things I'd like to know how to do (for Release Two):
1. How can I remove the annoying border from the start button? I've seen IceWM themes without this border
2. How can I make the taskbar thinner?

Can't answer 2 from memory, but for 1 try editing the theme file and setting look="flat"

If I screwed up and "flat" doesn't work, just look up which one was used in one of the themes that have the smooth flat bar. Pretty sure it was "flat" though.

Yep. The line appears in the default.theme file for that theme.

On the question of task bar "thickness" aka height, choose the following option in either the Preferences or Prefoverride files:

Code: Select all

SmallIconSize=22 #sets toolbar height, too.

Yes, flat was the right one. I was trying to go fro a rounded taskbar, but there is still an annoying border around the start button, it's just made the same colour as the taskbar... I guess I'll just have to go for a square taskbar for now, until IceWM brings out a way to change these things.

Here is Platinum-2, I've included the prefeoverride file (for lazy people) which should make your taskbar arrange itself like in the screenshot (previous post). And also the icon set I put together from various icons I found on the internet (some slightly modified) it isn't a complete icon set, some icons are missing, some have been resized incorrectly, some don't make sense...

Changes:
1. changed look to flat
2. added working black inner borders to the frame
3. inactive windows don't have buttons
4. Changed active menu color to blue. (was purple)

To install (for those of you who are new to this):
The Platinum-2 folder goes into /usr/share/icewm/themes
The prefoverride file (if you want to use it) goes into /root/.icewm
(or if your home is not under root: ~/.icewm)
The Classic9 folder can go into /usr/local/lib/X11/themes

Here is the latest theme I've been working on, an attempt to make puppy look like leopard. Any suggestions are welcome =)

Plans for future releases:
1. Make pressed-down titlebar buttons
2. Use images where only solid colour is used (like menu popup selections, etc)

I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks =)

Hello Everyone,
Here are the Asus Themes from the Eeepc 701

I've had a slightly odd problem with this one. I installed the IceKDE theme without too much trouble but the bottom quarter of my menu - including the "logout" section - disappeared completely. I've tried copying the menu file back without success.

Luckily, I've got enough room on my hard drive to keep a spare savefile so no serious damage was done, but all the same I'm curious to know whether or not anyone else has come across this and if so how did they solve it?

Thanks in advance,

Colonel Panic.

Yep! IceKDE overwrites or repoints the menu template at /etc/xdg/templates to one specific to IceKDE. You need to replace the modified template _root_.icewm_menu with the original. After this happened to me I simply removed IceKDE from my system, using PETget manager, and haven't had it back since. OTOH, others have loved it and stuck with it, so I guess it's a matter of personal choice.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'll give that a try since it's a good looking theme it would be nice to have on my system.

I slightly modified the Leopard-0 theme for icewm.
And the Gtk-theme Mac4Lin+ver.0.4.
And added the iconset Mac4Lin_Icons_v0.3a.

Everything is in a .sfs OR .pet, as you like.

To activate the themes, run in a consolewindow:
install-leopard-mu
To restore your old settings, type:
uninstall-leopard-mu

I also added the Icewm-theme "Tyrex", but modified it.
The active window now is grey instead of blue.

And I added 2 background, the blueish Aqua-2bends and the green default Gnome 2.22 one.

@MU:

Looks great. This will be a good addon for Macpup.

.

Wow ... Do you have these many hard disk's / partitions?

#114 Post by MU » Fri 25 Jul 2008, 02:16

Prit, glad you like and want to use it

I have 2 external USB-drives, 250 GB and (new) 500 GB.
I use them to backup stuff, Isos... I still have my first dotpups I made, and sourcefolders that can be very big.

-------------------------------------
Here are 2 more themes attached.
They match fine with the SlicknesS Gtk-theme mentioned/attached here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 4&start=60

Silverballs4 is a cleaned up version of Silverballs3 I made some years ago.
SlicknesS-MU is the trial, to get a theme, that at least resembles the Metacity theme.
Icewm tiles pixmaps in a different way, so it looks somewhat different to the original.
The buttons do not animate (e.g. highlight on moueover), as I just copied everything.
If you want to enhance this, look in Whodos VistaBlack-IV theme, which pictures must be modified.

I have been looking for a fishing theme. I have looked into making one myself but since I dont understand what Im reading yet with the directions its probably something I should try in the future sometime. As far as finding actual "fishing" themes , google led me to a dead end after a few wild goose chases. Does anybody know of one , or have the desire to make one ? It looks as if you may have something unique that noone else has done. thanks

Hello all

Here are some modified LINTHERED themes that i made,
they are actually hybrids of both Brushed-Metal & LINTHERED.

I created them for Prit1 for use in Macpup, hence the names.

LINTHERED-Mac-Five.tar.gz includes:

LINTHERED-MacBlue
LINTHERED-MacGold
LINTHERED-MacGreen
LINTHERED-MacPurple
LINTHERED-MacRed

Click on thumbnail for full size image.

To use them:
Download LINTHERED-Mac-Five.tar.gz (to wherever you want)
Copy it to: /usr/share/icewm/themes
Click on it to extract it. (you can now delete the copy of LINTHERED-Mac-Five.tar.gz)

You will now find them in Menu > Settings > Themes

Hope you find one you like.

hey mark I went to the slickness Gtk page you posted and tried the theme, well what parts did work, I liked the scroll bars and the rest was too dark for me, so I took the Scroll bar code/images from it and added it overtop the default Gradient-grey that puppy 4 comes with. Worked out nicely with the new Icewm package I'm building, goes good with my new blinky and freememory applet also.

thanks

Ps I added the Gradient-grey-new scroll bars as a pet,

Colonel Panic · #118 Post by **Colonel Panic** » Sat 26 Jul 2008, 16:22

Thanks for the themes; I'm downloading the linthered ones as I post.

I'm hoping to get all my favourite bits of the black Vista themes and blend all the elements together (the word "amalgamate" reminds me of dentistry).

nitehawk · #119 Post by **nitehawk** » Sat 26 Jul 2008, 22:46

Downloaded and am using the scrollbars,......veeeeeeeeeery nice!! My Puppy is just too,..too,...TOO fancy!

#120 Post by MU » Sun 27 Jul 2008, 07:36

I removed the 40 MB .icontheme.cache file from the Leopard.pet and .sfs, as it was not required.
I can see no difference in speed, even if I rebuild a new cachefile.
So it is ok, to remove it completely I think.
