Modifying a Theme

[Member Sliver X]

I really liked the blueCrux IceWM theme when I used it years ago. Recently I came across a copy of it in my archives and decided to do some cosmetic work to it and bring it over to my antiX setup as a dark variation of the original.

Aside from some minor annoyances I’ve got it mostly finished, I think.

Eventually I’ll be able to make GTK2/3 themes that aren’t unusably flat and ugly like 90% of what “UX” designers are spitting out these days. I also plan on making several color variations other than red. Once that’s done I’ll probably put it up for download if anyone would want it.

Looks like it came out nice. Post it when you have it done.

I also modify themes. Why`not? I like things the way I like them, LOL.

I believe I’ve got this finished, and ended up making five color variations (Not shown are Green and Gold).

Attached is a tar.gz archive with the IceWM and GTK2/3 themes. Where to get the icons is stated in the readme file.

Please let me know if you find any issues with them.

I did a bunch of polishing on these and they are much nicer now.
