Like your screenshots
Just wondering, when you take a screenshot could you "save as" jpg, instead of 1.20MB it will be like 300kb 1/4 of the file size but the same quality, jpg image compression is far better than png for images, png is great to use if you have an image with a transparent background, thats where jpg fails. like if you want to post an icon, it would be png, but if you took an image with a camera, that should be jpg. Anyways nice screenshot

Here are six new IceWM themes designed to complement the six GTK+ themes in the clearlooks-colorschemes package built into Puppy 4.2 (now RC3). They're all based on Shiney-Single 1.1 by Pteromys Fortissimus, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. If anyone wants to make or suggest some improvements, feel free!

EDIT 2009 Mar 20 06:09 AM: Oops, I've got one improvement: a .PET that works. If you're one of the few people who downloaded the one that didn't, try again with the one that does. Contrary to my usual practice, I uploaded the previous one without making sure it would install correctly. (No more IceWM theme creation for me, I think; it's too time-consuming and tiring!)

I can't believe nobody even said thanks to you Pa_mcclamrock Really like the themes man, I changed the menu picture, but besides that I like the feel of the whole theme, thanks!

Guys not sure if this is the best way to use icewm in 4.3.1
but I used the package manager in 4.3.1 to install icewm
then downloaded the pet here:
http://puppy-look.tk/
then ctrl + alt + backspace
and typed in xwin icewm

Loads of themes
Many thanks

Dear users, anyone can tell me where to find IceWM for Puppy and how to install it and themes?

Thanks,
Francisco

I really liked 4.3.1's default JWM theme, so I was delighted to come across it's Icewm counterpart, IceClearlooks2. If you want the same blue LED clock, you have to install the blueclock pet. It's courtesy of Puppyluvr. Thanks man, I use it quite a lot

Download IceClearlooks2 here



Apologies I didn't puppify it in anyway, maybe if I think of something I will, or maybe some one else will.

EDIT: Don't use Ttuuxxx's pet on 4.3.1, they don't seem to get on for me, X won't start after a restart.

I'm using Ttuuxxx's icewm pet by the way for those interested in a more refined Icewm than the one found in the Puppy Package Manager.

I found a really nice site for Icewm themes and other eye candy. http://box-look.org/. Never came across it before but I'm been very pleased with it and impressed by the icewm themes they have available. I've been packaging a few I really like and I'll try and post them here. Of course, feel free to go ahead and download the tars yourself if you'd like

Today's one is Icewm-dust:

Edit: A few posts down is a stripped down version of this pet done by Ttuuxxx. Thanks man.

Edit: There's also a stripped down version of this pet done by Ttuuxxx a few posts down.



Apologies the pet is so big.

I had a look at it, I'm not running icewm right now, but I did notice it came with its own fonts and a very large file sized desktop background.
I deleted the extra fonts, changed the default theme to use puppy fonts, and compressed the background image. So the end results went from a 2.4MB pet to a 120kb pet.

Updated had a second look and found another extra image,
made some system links, removed some icons and replaced with just a couple and 120kb pet
enjoy ttuuxxx

updated above, lol

and finally if you mix the taskbar only with my small themes and make it gtk so you have animated buttons, you get something like this
It went from 2400kb pet to 23kb pet, 100 times smaller.
