Thanks very much trio, you could as well ust apply some of active/inactive colors already choosen in other fields if you didn't want to add new buttons, I see that pager is already changed this way, just missed the popups, they stayed the same always.

Daves,

Desktop pager already changes according to other colors

Dejan,

I already made the options, It's better to seperate it than following other colors, it's supposed to be "differently shocking color" as it is pop-up info box

Thanks guys, wonder why you guys not too interrested in GTK Theme Maker?

I will get to GTK Theme Maker in a while T. Just not enough hours in the day. Also, the standard JWM themes are horrible, but Stardust and DeepThought are nice, so not so much urgency.

I don't really change gtk themes that much and I can't manage to make one that really fits for everyday use. I see you made lots of templates there, gonna try them when I can. Oh, gonna add link to puppy look site today, haven't time to work on it lately.

Hi trio, I finally got around to trying this application and well it works excellent great job on it!!!
Its almost perfect, what I would like to see is that it could reopen a saved themes that you previously made, maybe a numbering system so it knows which themes were made with the theme maker and which weren't.

Now with the addition of this theme maker, changing fonts is crazy-easy.

But here is something to try: add your own handwriting as a font.

It looks extremely cool, if you like your handwriting at all. Here's what to do: go to fontifier and follow the instructions. It takes about 10 minutes and will cost about $10. Then you'll have a ttf of your writing.

Then add it to your fonts file.

Then when you run the theme maker you just pick the font you made.

Cool
