A Vista-like theme for IceWM. Makes the fastest window manager, that can run on the oldest machines, look like Microsoft's latest operating system.

Bright version:

this is a vry nice theme for IceWM. I tried it and it looks nice.

when you click on Start/Applications menu the font size si small. Around 10 pt. I think. How can I increase the font size in ICE WM. I looked in the preferences file in .icewm, I tried many options, I learned a lot for IceWm, but I didn't manage to change the font size and type.

I'm a newb, please,

I deceided not to update this theme anymore since I found another one kinda similar to it on FreshMeat already, and I don't really like the black taskbar look of Vista. The window titlebar made its way into my IceHybrid theme.

Anyway, the font can be adjusted inside the theme file. Find the place where you extracted the theme and inside it edit the file default.theme. At the very end are all the fonts and their sizes.

Thanks, I already found how to change the font size. Can I make the title bar color same as the task bar?

I got the wallpaper through a Google search for Vista Wallpaper, but it's not one of the top hits anymore and I no longer have it on my computer.

To install the theme, if you are using IceWM as your Window manager of course, just extract the archive to ~/.icewm/themes

Hi, sorry to bump an old thread, but is there any chance you can make the window manager match the panel (make it black), and maybe add an icon. I might try this myself as well, but I have no idea how to make icewm themes, i'll just edit the pixmaps.
