HI,

What can we do if we have JWM theme maker but no GTK Theme Maker? Well, here it is. Testers welcome!

1. Menu entry under Desktop group
2. Will make a standard GTK theme (with a default template), you can create your own template, just look /root/,GTKthememaker/template
3. run fixmenus & restart window manager (refresh menus) after install

Enjoy
Updated to v 1.3 - Added Active checkboxes color
Updated to v 1.2 - change button active to Inactive Text (buttons' color not really matter when using template), improved templates (default & rainbow)
Updated to v 1.1 - ability to choose template (mine are ugly, uou should make one yourself)

When you've collected say 100 themes, you might want to use Desktop Display/Themes Profile Manager

... (even before a test), no need for font size and name boxes (unless desired particularly) since those are already in gtkchtheme as a global option. The usual recent GTK choose theme interface is quite good, but lacks a few display items (like tabs and tab text variations) ...

Very Happy

trio, one problem here...

the values from the colorchooser are not copied to the main-gui as rgb2hex is not installed on my pc... you will have to include it or post it as seperat download.

after installing it works (quick test).

Cool trio you da man! I thought you would need more options then used for jwm maker for all kind of buttons and menus though. Works here on dpup. Wink

You rock man!

hmm, yeah should you at least add inactive text color, if I make theme with black background I can't see inactive text?
I tried to gimp some templates, but didn't turn out good Rolling Eyes

Magerlab,

Thx 4 using. Glad you like it

Dejan,

I'll see about the inactive text. But I want to keep it as simple as possible for new users.
The key to the templates are: size is 20x20, and most part transparent but outlined, so that it will cater for most of colors.

If I make any modifications, I will also make my included templates better.

Nice - it's good to be able to quickly make your very own basic gtk with a few choices (especially the base) and have it to learn from if one wishes to. Of course it isn't very fancy, but then again it is quick and works well. Good job, I imagine some of the enthusiasts will be coming up with custom templates as they get inspired to share .. heh, works well enough messing with .pngs (mm, right about inactive text but very very dark themes are a thankless task if they ever work in general and with a wide variety of apps (Rox disappears bad or you have to change things so much it's disorienting)

yep, p421bb did and possibly other bares might need that rgb2hex to make it as easy as it should be - in pp4a423 is fine, reminded me to dump in the new mtphandbook Smile

dunno if you could use the .pngs in this match to the other jwm thing, tab1 kind of suffers on the corners when it sits on top of default (why I need to read the handbook. Laughing

)

fOo

Thanks for your template, but please next time don't include the gtkrc, the gtkrc will be auto-made by GTKthememaker

regards
