#1 Post by zomzilla »

this is just a simple theme i knocked up in a couple minutes: may update later with a little colour to make it interesting

simply decompress and place the two files in ~/.jwm/themes

then load using the jwm theme switcher

To make transparency work you have to have a compositor running such as xcompmgr which comes with most Pups though probably will not be loaded automatically, and you have to add an opacity tag to your theme wherever you need it, like this:

Code: Select all

<WindowStyle>
    <Font>DejaVu Sans -10:Bold</Font>
    <Width>3</Width>
    <Height>22</Height>     
    <Active>
       <Text>#f8f1f1</Text>
       <Title>Grey:Black</Title>
       <Outline>black</Outline>
    </Active>
    <Inactive>
    <Opacity>.9</Opacity>
       <Text>#000000</Text>
       <Title>#ebe4e4:#c0bebe</Title>         
       <Outline>#ebe4e4</Outline>
    </Inactive>
</WindowStyle>
Opacity is set as a numeric value where 1 is opaque, 0.1 is transparent.
