Custom theme

#1 Post by captorofsin »

Hi everyone, here's a little something I did in Puppy 4.2.1 a while ago to make it look more visually balanced and refined.

I've combined the Gradient-grey JWM theme with the Clearlooks Gtk+ 2.0 theme, and set the JQ8flat-lite icon set with the Pwidgets_background. I've also made a customized menu button that incorporates the official puppy logo, altered the widget side bar and rearranged a few of the widgets.

I really like the official Puppy logo, and it seems silly not to have it incorporated into the default puppy theme. I think it looks really nice in the menu button.

I know Puppy 4.3 has been released, and I could incorporate this style into the newer version, but I thought I'd show you what I've done here anyway.

Hey, great stuff! Good to see another eye candy person...

Simple elegance hath charm (especially after wowsing thru several wms and almost losing track of which one was current :lol: ) - wilkommst indeed and don't be a stranger. Now to try out some newly dl'd pekwm themes and see what's new with the (fairly) recent AS and fix that pesky menu :)
