Hello,
Here is a little Yad GUI for making simple basic GTK themes - there are no bells, whistles or fancy GTK theme effects here, i wanted to try and keep the GUI as simple to use as possible and as such there are only 5 inputs.

Note: For a more feature rich gtk theme maker check out Trio's GTK Theme Maker 1.4 here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=45702

Background:
Is the main theme colour, input boxes and backgrounds.

Hight light:
Is the colour when you move over a button and through menus.

Selected:
Is the colour when you drag drop select text or directories / files and select files in the file manager.

Text:
Is the colour of the text under files and the like.

Theme Name:
Is what ever you want to call your new theme.



Dependencies:
Requires Yad - download is available on this link:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=536533#536533

Menu entry is in Utility
tested on lucid puppy.

Hi stu90,

I was looking at the code I couldn't see where I could make the buttons text only.
In Xdialog --buttons-style "text" is used but that command don't work, could you give me a link
to where I can view that info, I'd like to try my hand at yad.

I've also tried your google image search but it don't seem to read the screen res, most likely something different in Quirky 120 NOP

Hi Geoffrey,

I think the google image search you refer to is by lithpr, it uses wmctrl to get the screen res - i just installed it from the ubuntu repository.

There is not to much in the way of Yad documentation - there are a few examples on the Yad site
http://code.google.com/p/yad and options list in terminal yad --help-all

I really don't know much about using yad or writing scripts, as far as i know to remove button icons you need to set custom buttons - i have attached simplegtk script below with how i use yad to set buttons.
gkt-cancel and gtk-ok would use button icons but just a button name ok and cancel would not. You can name / use the buttons for what ever you want not just limited to ok and cancel.

thanks.

stu90,

Nice compact utility.

You can use puppy's xwininfo like this-
Code:
xwininfo -root |grep Width|cut -d: -f2

to get screen resolution.

Cheers,

Hi stu90,

having chosen the colors and forgot to name it ?
Or gave a name including blank ?

No problem

Code:
VERSION=" v 0.3 "
#Do not loose chosen colors if Name is blank
#change blank to underscore in Name


My regards

PS: next step could be changing an existing theme

Hi L18L,
Nice update - i have used this in simpleBOX as well. Smile

I originally though about editing an existing simplegtk theme but didn't go any further with it as it is so quick and easy to make new themes.

cheers.

Sub_title: for unprivileged user fido		  
Hi stu90,

tested on wary512
which may run as unprivileged user fido.
Code:
# root password for user fido
 [ "`whoami`" != "root" ] && exec sudo -A ${0} ${@}
inserted at line 8 will let it work in all waries.

Without this the output is not true. Laughing
Code:
# ./simplegtk
Exiting
mkdir: can't create directory '/usr/share/themes/wau_wau/': Permission denied
touch: cannot touch `/usr/share/themes/wau_wau/gtk-2.0/gtkrc': No such file or directory
/root/my-applications/bin/simplegtk: line 72: /usr/share/themes/wau_wau/gtk-2.0/gtkrc: No such file or directory
New wau_wau theme created


Don't know whether this is worth a new version
but anyway it is worth a note in the title

My regards

Hi Geoffrey,
Im not sure what this error means nor am i able to recreate this error at my end - i did however find a error with removing themes with white space in the name (this is now fixed in v 0.5) maybe your error is related to this?

Also which version of yad are you using - the latest version i am using is yad-0.12.4 the .pet is available here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=539647#539647

thanks for feedback.
