Hi!
As a newbie on Linux I really appreciated Puppy and so I tried to customise it as well as I could (i.e switching to IceWM, changing icons sizes, played with the themes...). Here is what I did tonight.[/img]

Time to play, now that 4.2.1 is almost finished. I thought I'd upload a taste of the new release for your enjoyment:

Puppy-4.2.1
JWM
Feel-of-Japan icon theme
Sunset SVG background by BluePal
Pwidgets Stardust theme

Nice, where from icons/jwm theme is maybe steve_s would like to make a pet for them?

This time, a bit of 'Vert'

The themes are made up of various elements. But the main point is the icons.

The GTK theme is the Mama-Rose, with it applied to JWM.

Pwidgets 'Rouge' theme, one I wrote, with Rojo clock.

Then the desktop icons are a 'Rouge' set.

Vert is GTK Greenery and applied to JWM.

Pwidgets 'Aurora' theme with Verde clock.

Again, desktop icons are 'Vert' set.

Rouge and Vert icons are some I put together myself.

If there's interest I can pet them if you want.

Of course, those are nice iconsets, it would be nice to have them if it's not big trouble for you to pet them.
We have lots of nice iconsets now peted:

These are the desktop Icon pets. They will install to Themes.

I'm just searching for the menu button pics at moment.

The button pics are in there, I just forgot Embarassed

Never looked closely at this before, but is there a need for a single application that will carry out all functions of making a theme change?

I don't mean just the GTK theme changer but an overall changer which will consolidate one theme.

At the moment it's desktop icons, wallpaper, pwidgets, jwm or icewm and menu button.

This assumes basic Puppy with either window manager.

To get an integrated look requires all elements to be changed.

Any thoughts ?

Although MS Windoze items can be singly altered, it tends to go for a designed look theme.
