Hi,

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

Dependencies :
- ffmpeg with x11grab or avconv with x11grab
- Xdialog
- gxmessage
- GTK Theme Maker 1.9.4 from here (1.9.7 and up). Create Gtk theme button will not appear in edit window if gtk theme maker is not installed

Version 1.9.8 : Bugfix:complete the created gtk theme with buttons
Version 1.9.7 :
- can create matching gtk theme from a saved theme, go to the edit window
- needs at least GTK Theme Maker 1.9.4 from here
Version 1.9.6 : Now supports font style
Version 1.9.5 : Using comboboxtext fot font and spinbutton for font size, prevent user mistake
Version 1.9.4 : Reverting back to fc-list, jwm seem does not support many font attributes (bold, italic, obligue etc)
Version 1.9.3 : Use native gtkdialog fontselector
Version 1.9.2 : Warning when saving an existing theme name
Version 1.9.1 : Warning & relaunch jwmthememaker when trying to edit a theme not made by jwmthememaker
Version 1.9 : Remove rgb2hexscript, now use native gtkdialog colorchooser
Version 1.8 : seems a bit snappier - with newer jwm theme change script (precise, slacko, quirky unicorn, tahr). keeping 1.7.9 for older puppies
Version 1.7.9: fix pop-up notification when saving
Version 1.7.8:
- grab preview of title bar window height correctly if changed
- preview func, not saving
- Change jwm config button to jwm theme switcher
Version 1.7.7: bugfix again when grab preview pic
Version 1.7.6: Version 1.7.6: better handling when saving
Version 1.7.5: only change how functions work
Version 1.7.4: bugfix: get correct preveiw pics when tray height is changed
Version 1.7.3: Tidy up, add more tooltips & warnings. This will be the last version for now, unless something come up
Version 1.7.2: Fully compatible with precise 5.7.1, slacko 5.7, tahr 6.0 (as long as jwm taskbartray swallows xload). Might work with quirky 6.0. It will fail to grab taskbar pic if in autohide mode and/or if the taskbar is not on top or bottom
Version 1.7.1:
- Bugfix: fc-list compatibility when edit mode
- New: will use avconv instead of mmpeg if not available
Version 1.7: replace binary rgb2hex to a bash script called rgb2hexscript

Mmmmm, nice, I already see bunch of new themes for puppy
Gonna try this first thing I get home!

[trio]

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.

[dejan555]

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.

[trio]

thanks dejan,

I think fc-list command might do it..need to play some more

Updated to v 1.1 - added - Font & Font Size Configuration too

[dejan555]

It's announced on puppy-look too, couldn't wait till I get home

[trio]

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.
