Hi,

Useful for theme lovers...try it, you'll like it!

Dependency : rgb2hex (included in pet) - thanks Aragon

Version 1.5:
- Total Overhaul - now the gui and all functions are in one file only
- ABILITY TO EDIT A SAVED THEME, AND ONLY FOR THEMES MADE BY JWMTHEMEMAKER

Updated to v 1.4 - added: pop-up box background & text colors, border outline color, tooltips (info of usage of entries & buttons)
Updated to v 1.3 - delete a theme & instant apply functions
Updated to v 1.2-1 - bugfix: sort & filter duplicated font names
Updated to v 1.2 - added - Font & Font Size Configuration too
Updated to v 1.1 - added - button to go to JWM Config Manager

When you've collected say 100 themes, you might want to use Desktop Display/Themes Profile Manager, available here
And you may want to use GTK Theme Maker

Mmmmm, nice, I already see bunch of new themes for puppy Smile

Gonna try this first thing I get home!

I already made the JWM theme maker to perform changing of fonts and font size. But i still have to type in font names manually.

I need a file that lists REAL FONT NAMES, not the .ttf names. for example:

Maybe put them in /tmp/fontlist.txt;
monofonto
Dejavu Sans
ionic charge
pdingobats
arial

Help, anybody? thanks.

maybe using some cli utility for listing fonts? xfontsel, xlsfonts? Don't know if any of them are in puppy by default, I'm not @ home atm.

Thanks guys, enjoy!

Dejan, thanks for the announcement, and yes, if you have a lot of themes already, you need to use Desktop Display/Theme Profile Manager

Cheers

Apparent problem with your new theme maker 1.2. No matter which menu item I choose, when the Xdialog box pops up and I try and choose a color it closes Xdialog without allowing me to change anything. Also, there are no font names listed under fonts.
Other than that I think this is a great idea. I've tried making my own jwm themes manually in the past and it's kind of tedious. This speeds things up alot. I can see this evolving and adding new life to a great window manager whose only drawback was the eye candy factor.
