I know there are puppy users that like fluxbox and there are some puplets with it like pupflux too, so if you happen to make a style for it share it here. These days Rupp and me were playing with this azenis theme he ripped from metacity theme from gnome-look, for details and download check

That looks great. It would be nice if they would get rid of icewm and put flux back in the default puppys. It's so un-windows.

Been awhile since I tangled with ice (like all wms, there's features and then there's ...). Been having a play with Fb as an add-on dotpet
(thanks be to all who make it fair easy .. especially the plinej-xdgmenu-fix from here) altho Pupflux has some nice touches as well (tiny icons in the menus as I recall) for a 'full' puplet ... currently in p412 and p425, think I like a fix'd BB theme best (it's in
this thread - angel style is a bit more legible than my own mod fwiw, Fb seems to take a bit of time to settle in and get used to all the settings but it's a great 'box. Lately more in the 'misty-but-not-too' mode (my fav Fb bg is 'effortless' from
this collection, it just seems to fit well with Fb for me as I use it. oya,

I'm sure there's a graphical pager somewhere for Fb but the roxpanel applet was handy ...

.. I'd imagine fb-users can figure it out;
Fwiw, 3 styles for flux' -
nothin' fancy but they seem to be a nice change. Ymmv, especially with different colors/values and etc (especially pseudo-trans) - one's fairly darkish but with colors, another is mostly blue and a more minimal takeoff on the spiff bb style. Probably could have tried a shadow on some fonts, but generally I find less may work at times. Lightly tested on pupflux 412 (Xvesa) and 421 (Xorg).
lots more bytes in screenies than the actual files - but here's a small
screenie or three

I would simply have thought credit where credit is due... there is no mention of the original author within any of the pet files so if someone acquires the theme from a third party they would be given the wrong impression as to who did the original artwork.

I linked to where from I took theme I modified. If they have link to original author on their site then those who visit will see it. If not, I couldn't know neither. I will repackage pet or remove it from download completely if you insist, it's no problem to me. I just don't feel like puttin url's in puppy menu or displaying splash messages when installing pet, it's so spamish and window-ish that it's disgusting. If users want to find out who did it they will follow links or ask here in thread. I never said that it's my creation, I was specific when I said that we "ripped" theme from another one, so it's clone of metacity theme.
Following is from Azenis mod pet of mine which extracts to /root/.fluxbox/Azenis_flux_mod/theme.cfg
If someone follows that link they will see long description of azenis which says that it was originally windows blinds theme.
