So like Crux and Mist and all the other themes that affect the borders around the windows? Never played with them before, I,will see if I can track down a theme guid or something. Is there a file that can be unzipped so I can see the graphics files?
Yes, like Crux in /usr/share/themes/crux
There's a theme called concrete which is an excellent theme, but it
is badly written in some respects. It wrecks a few important places
in my Pan usenet program. Another is Sea2Sky, it wrecks that program
also a little bit, but being able to make a change would make it quite good.
If I had an 800 page book on gtk themes I'd fix it myself. But, can't
find one, maybe a college bookstore would have one.
Perhaps a new topic-thread for this kona ?
Hate to trash some of these themes when a couple adjustments by
someone could make a greater effort a success, you know.
Each one defines gtk areas different, buttons, borders, notebooks,
etc. and without the reference book I just get lost trying to read thru
all the spaghetti in there. Images used for backgrounds and so forth.
Theme id's that override other id's, like html or css style sheets do.
You'd have to be able to do a gtk theme like crux from scratch and change
definitions, images used, duplicate definitions and all of that.
Crux is actually one of the easiest to modify. I use it with and without
the crux-engine and can modify colors within so it works quite well then.
Has enough contrast either way to look good. But if I wanted a certain
button or key to colorize differently, oh well, no reference book.
Perhaps create a LinuxVillage theme even, like crux.
Want a new topic-thread ? Probably.

patrick
