change menu button in metacity theme

[hezral]

anyone knows how to change the menu button in this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=38917

so that it shows the icon of the application instead?

copy and past this over the current menu code<draw_ops name="menu_button">
<icon alpha="1.0" x="(width-mini_icon_width)/2" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height"/>
</draw_ops>

<draw_ops name="menu_button_pressed">
<icon alpha="0.5" x="(width-mini_icon_width)/2" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height"/>
</draw_ops>

<draw_ops name="menu_button_prelight">
<icon alpha="0.7" x="(width-mini_icon_width)/2" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height"/>
</draw_ops>

<draw_ops name="menu_button_unfocused">
<icon alpha="0.50" x="(width-mini_icon_width)/2" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height"/>
</draw_ops>

<draw_ops name="menu_button_unfocused_prelight">
<icon alpha="0.7" x="(width-mini_icon_width)/2" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height"/>
</draw_ops>

you also might want to make maximized windows correctly
<frame_geometry name="no_borders" parent="normal" rounded_top_left="false" rounded_top_right="false" rounded_bottom_left="false" rounded_bottom_right="false">
<distance name="left_width" value="0"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="0"/>
<distance name="bottom_height" value="0"/>
<distance name="left_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
<distance name="right_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
<border name="title_border" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="1"/>
<border name="button_border" left="2" right="0" top="2" bottom="2"/>
</frame_geometry>

you can also leave the menu button there and put the app icon next to the title text.
<draw_ops name="title_focused">
<icon x="0 `max` ((width-title_width)) / 2 - height" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2 + 1" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height" alpha="1"/>
<title color="shade/gtk:bg[SELECTED]/0.7" x="5 `max` (width-title_width)/2+1" y="1 `max` ((height-title_height)/2)+1"/>
<title color="gtk:fg[SELECTED]" x="4 `max` (width-title_width)/2" y="0 `max` ((height-title_height)/2)"/>
</draw_ops>

<draw_ops name="title_unfocused">
<icon x="0 `max` ((width-title_width)) / 2 - height" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2 + 1" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height" alpha="0.7"/>
<title color="shade/gtk:bg[NORMAL]/0.8" x="4 `max` (width-title_width)/2" y="0 `max` ((height-title_height)/2)"/>
</draw_ops>

Thank you! If you don't know, have have much more here (http://www.gnome-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=bvc)

ok it worked. but the one you gave had both the icon and the arrow button. i already edit it to show the icon only. thanks a lot!! i'll check your other themes too.

[bvc]

the first post will only put the app icon in place of the menu button

the second was to leave the menu button in the menu position and put the app icon with the title

glad you figured it out!
