(OLD) (ARCHIVED) Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello,
I have been using the LINTHERED theme for a while. I like it, but the frame had blemished colours (at least i thought so).
I gimped a bit on one of the them and made a "smoother" frame.
I hope there's no rights problem or something because I edited the file. I simply assumed this change is within the thoughts of open source.

anyway here you are.

Thanks to CatDude for creating such a great theme.

hooo... I just noticed there are another 15 pages. I hope I did not post something 20 poeple did before.

Another question (slightly off-topic):
AFAIK these .pet files are made for the puppy Linux packet manager. How can I use themes which were uploaded as .pet files if I do not use puppy (but crux).
Is there a way to extract the original theme files?

Thanks in advance,
Keen

Just rename the .pet to tar.gz and any file decompression application like file-roller,xarchive, xarchiver will extract it, then just copy the themes to the correct directories.
Note ! usually it will give you a error when extracting, this is normal, the files will still work perfectly and will be 100% complete, it gives this message because puppy packages have a extract file in which other decompression application don't know how to handle.

example
before---> firefox-3.pet
after---> firefox-3.tar.gz

[commander_keen]

it worked

thank you ttuuxxx!

Hi Keen!

WOW!! You've done a really superb job here in 'gimping up' the quality of this theme and I wished that I hadn't had been so busy so that I'd have seen this earlier - I really do like this!

So thanks for your additional tweakings. Very much appreciated!

Another thing: Did you make the "Start Button" or did CatDude? I've made several myself ( perhaps the easiest thing to do graphically ), nothing spectacular like Tux has done of course - he's "Da Man!" in that department! - but this one in this theme is really neat I must say, and goes very well with the "Vista-Puppy"-like Wallpaper which I believe may be found on Dejan's site.

Again: Thanks for you efforts Keen! Keep up the great work my fellow Puppian friend, okie?

Cheers/Amicalement,

Here is a combination of former themes, slightly tweaked.

Brushed Leopard is a combination of the Gtk2 themes Mac4Lin_GTK_v0.4 and Brushed.
It combines the typical Mac look of windows, but without the coloured sliders and buttons, they are now from the brushed theme.

The Icewm window decoration is a repainted Leopard-0. I modified the titlebars, so that now they seamlessly fit with menubars and window-backgrounds. The original version had a "stripe" among the titlebar and the rest.

I also included a matching theme for XFCE windows (originally was called Leopard-Round).

And the background blue-bend.jpg.

This theme does not include icons.

Hey Mark!

Thanks for posting these updates Mein Broder! Excellent themes made even better under your expert hands! I've always enjoyed very much your Mac-Look IceWM themes as well as your puplets/versions.

Likewise, I've really missed reading your posts around here...

I hope that all is going well with you my brother!

Thanks once again for your updated themes!

Mazzel! Amicalement!

kewl, picoGUI - simple blue IceWM themes from KDE-look. I didn't think anyone had done anything with these, but maybe I'm wrong. I modified the buttons slightly. Kewl had gray buttons, I made them white. PicoGUI had smaller blue marks.

I took QuanX from here, and added the taskbar and menu, but I no longer know what I'm doing in Lucid Puppy 5.1.1. I can't find the defaults that make the battery, speaker, and internet icons in the task bar.

So to make these themes usable I slightly modified title bars and patched them together with WhoDo's ElbergBlue. So these currently have the same menu and taskbar as that theme. (Thanks, WhoDo, sorry about that. I'll delete post if you don't want this.) Anyway, I was doing this because I thought my Lucid Puppy needed more light IceWM themes.

Very sharp-looking themes there cagliostro! Thanks for having posted those as for one I sure do appreciate using them in my various installs of Puppy. ( I only have around 11 Puppies installed on this computer. )

Keep up the great work cagliostro!

Here's my first IceWM them, a simple, flat, dark coloured theme.

I called it: SlimGrey

Just extract to ~/.icewm/themes or /usr/share/icewm/themes

Not everyone's taste, but at least it won't cost much bandwidth to download!

Does anyone know where I can find this icewm theme?:

I really like the menu button.

[dejan555]

It's not icewm, it's bmpanel I don't remember where I got it from but it was arch linux bmpanel theme I believe and I edited the button. I'll try to find it if I still have it.
