Edit: I forgot to do a few images, I updated the tgz.
Nice one! GoldenMood makes a great base for more elegant themes.

yes, actually im using puppy 4.3.1 from a usb hard disk.
Isnt there any way to fix it??
thanks again
I was fiddling around with the Icewm package for awhile, but then I discovered Lighthouse Pup. It comes with Icewm preinstalled as well as a most of the programs I use so I just switched. It might be worthwhile checking out. Link is in my signature. Besides that, sorry I have no solution. Maybe someone else will have a look.

Wish someone would credit the original author of the Azenis style... I find that everyone and his aunt is taking credit for what was originally the work of Yingjunjiu, and was first published as a Windowblind and an MSStyle years ago!!!

Well than they have my thanks! But that's the great thing about open source and Linux, any one can add to someones else's previous contributions.

Here's a Star Trek inspired tweak of Xtreme Animated. The file has been corrected.

You can see what it looks like at the following link.

Just for the record, Jemimah has fixed the Icewm in 4.3 problem. With her new pet, menu icons appear and she's put in a shutdown menu. Thanks man!

walter, seems like it misses taskbuttonminimized.xpm I made a symlink to taskbuttonbg.xpm

Anyway, for dpup users I just compiled icewm 1.3.6, see here
It renders themes nicely.

Don't know if it works for other puppy versions, you can try if you feel like.

Sorry about that. I'll re-up the full .zip tomorrow. I had the file in two places and must have grabbed the wrong one. I was experimenting and must have forgotten to transfer it.


I have corrected the file. Look above to my previous post for the download.

Another (tweaked) theme--IceXimian3

#220 Post by Ibidem »

Here's my own tweaking of the IceXimian2 theme. I like it for the colors and for its narrow titlebar/taskbar (has 14 pixel titlebar), which work better than usual on a 1024x600 screen.
The differences are small (a little transparency, a few symlinks replaced, and my own menu drawn in mtpaint), but I changed the name.
Posting it in standard tar.gz format, for those who don't have Puppy.

Well there's this, just extract it to which ever folder has the themes, maybe /root/.icewm/themes ?

For transparency you need a composite manager. Ice WM doesnt control that.

/root/.icewm/themes/ or /usr/share/icewm/themes/ will do.
The latter is system-wide, but then Puppy usually is single-user (except Grafpup & Pizzapup).

Transparency--IceWM does do some of that if the theme is designed right (transparent xpms); not sure if it supports translucent xpms though.

I use xcompmgr with transset when I feel like having transparent windows.
From my ~/.icewm/keys (equivalent to /usr/share/icewm/keys):

Code: Select all

key "Ctrl+Alt+c" 				xcompmgr -s
key "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+x" 			killall xcompmgr
key "Ctrl+Alt+t" 				transset .9
key "Ctrl+Alt+x" 				gps
key "Ctrl+Alt+e" 				xfe ~/
key "Shift+Print" 				scrot -u -b
key "Print" 					scrot
Since Meta maps to Ctrl + Alt by default (here in Ubuntu--stock IceWM, Puppy may be different), I get
Win+c......start compositing (needed for transparence) with server-side (hard) shadows; you must set transparency for each window to get it
Win+Shift+x.....Get rid of the eye candy--stop compositing
(Note that restarting compositing with Win+c will make it look the same as before Win+shift+x)
Win+t.......set slight translucence where you click
Win+x......Task manager--pick another for best luck (gps is gtk1 from
https://launchpad.net/~ibid-ag/+archive ... /+packages; needs the gtk1 libs)
Win+e.......Browse home directory with xfe (must install!)
Printscreen...save screenshot to ~/scrot_<date_etc>.png; needs scrot
Shift+printscreen....Screenshot of active window

Sorry for the long post.

Hello,
I have been using the LINTHERED theme for a while. I like it, but the frame had blemished colours (at least i thought so).
I gimped a bit on one of the them and made a "smoother" frame.
I hope there's no rights problem or something because I edited the file. I simply assumed this change is within the thoughts of open source.

anyway here you are.

Thanks to CatDude for creating such a great theme.
Keen

hooo... I just noticed there are another 15 pages. I hope I did not post something 20 poeple did before.

Another question (slightly off-topic):
AFAIK these .pet files are made for the puppy Linux packet manager. How can I use themes which were uploaded as .pet files if I do not use puppy (but crux).
Is there a way to extract the original theme files?

Thanks in advance,
Keen

Just rename the .pet to tar.gz and any file decompression application like file-roller,xarchive, xarchiver will extract it, then just copy the themes to the correct directories.
Note ! usually it will give you a error when extracting, this is normal, the files will still work perfectly and will be 100% complete, it gives this message because puppy packages have a extract file in which other decompression application don't know how to handle.

example
before---> firefox-3.pet
after---> firefox-3.tar.gz
http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files
http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games :)

Hi Keen! :D

WOW!! You've done a really superb job here in 'gimping up' the quality of this theme and I wished that I hadn't had been so busy so that I'd have seen this earlier - I really do like this!

So thanks for your additional tweakings. Very much appreciated!

Another thing: Did you make the "Start Button" or did CatDude? I've made several myself ( perhaps the easiest thing to do graphically :wink: ), nothing spectacular like Tux has done of course - he's "Da Man!" in that department! - but this one in this theme is really neat I must say, and goes very well with the "Vista-Puppy"-like Wallpaper which I believe may be found on Dejan's site.

Again: Thanks for you efforts Keen! Keep up the great work my fellow Puppian friend, okie?

Cheers/Amicalement,

Eyes-Only
