EDIT: It would be easier to post'em on my site if they were pets, this way I have to make pets first for all

Hey dejan555,
I noticed that the names of my icons dont match the ones shown on your site..
IE, "file" instead of "home"..ect..
I used the original icon set for naming, do I need to add the additional names as well...Let me know...
Thx..Jay

Hello (again),
@ steve_s,

VERY NICE!!
Excellent "how-to"!!! Very Happy

For extra "newbieness" I would add, at the start..

"Go to /usr/local/lib/X11/themes and choose a theme that has similar elements to what you want, IE, has gradiants or has a start button you like, ect, or just use the "Original" theme.
Right click on the folder of the theme you have chosen and select "copy".
Change the name to that of your intended theme, and click OK...
Then open the new theme folder and "hack away"...(see below)..
Save the result, and Viola, your very own theme... Very Happy

Actually you did misspell one icon name it's archive48 and not archiver, that one didn't change on theme switch. Fixed. Wink

Hey, crew…I realized that I had done both of these, that I liked ‘em so much I use ‘em regularly on my desktop, but that I hadn’t shared ‘em.

They are straight up mutations, putting green where there was blue.

The jwm theme is a mutation of WhoDo’s Vista theme, and I’ve labeled it (get this): Vista-green.

And the gtk theme is a mutation of one of the Clearlook gtk themes with 4.2 (Clearlooks DeepSky).

I’ll post the jwm theme on the jwm themes thread and the gtk theme on the gtk themes thread…so, forgive the double post (sort of) but each thread is a different deal…

Enjoy!
