New IceWM Thin Black theme

[lion1810]

Wasn't aware of such a patch, my taskbar looks similar though (no buttons however).

Anyways, two things,
1. How did you get beryl to work with IceWM? I thought Emerald just replaces it altogether, making it useless...

If you spell about transparency, It's only a trick

2. Can you send me that theme? It looks like the author made a custom menu background, I wasn't aware you could do that.

I've made myself. Can I help you?

Yes,
What is the file for a menu background and how did you find this out?

Edit: I guessed that the file was called menubg.xpm, and it was. However, the tutorial I used to make my themes had no mention of this, and I couldn't find any other ones, so I want to know where this is documented.

there is a translator? )))))))


BackgroundImage:

your default.theme

....
DesktopBackgroundCenter = 1
DesktopBackgroundImage = '/home/julia/bg.jpg'



Options:
DesktopBackgroundImage=""
DesktopBackgroundCenter=1 # 0 / 1
DesktopBackgroundScaled=1 # 0 / 1


ex
DesktopBackgroundImage="background.jpg"
DesktopBackgroundImage="35857-1.png"

The menu has 2 parts

menubg.xpm

and

menusel.xpm

basically the menubg.xpm and menusel.xpm are repeated:

(esempio1)

if you insert them in default.theme in gradiens

Gradients="menubg.xpm menusel.xpm"

they are enlarged

as in icenoir's menu


look at you must change the options "default.theme" of voice "Look" in "metal"

# Look
Look=metal

Can't the same results be achieved by merely editing the .init file?

After serious consideration, much staring, and heavy thinking, I have finally figured out that no, that borderless button look most likely can't be done with simply editing the .init file.

But tweaking themes is cool. I have one idea I've been wanting to work out for quite a while, I really want to get it done and share it. Probably end up ugly as sin, but I'm still going to try it out one day.

wow! i didn't think something that pretty would work right in icewm. nice job!

I really like how this looks with the Tangerine theme. Changed all fonts to 8 point sans, though.

Anyone know why this theme doesn't draw an outline when OpaqueMove=0 ??

Hey all, thank you for your comments!
I'm releasing a new version now. Looks much better than the old, but I removed the shininess (makes it look cheap). See original post.
