I did a couple JWM themes that I thought might be shareable , they are both pretty easy on the eyes , no really bold colors.
This one I named military , kinda green and khaki colors.

I'm kind of fond of the xfont-terminus font , but you can change it easily.
If you haven't used it in your favorite terminal app , definitely check it out
Make a text file named military and copy it to ~/.jwm/themes , paste this into it.

<JWM>

<!-- military -->
<WindowStyle>

<Outline>olive</Outline>
</Active>

<Inactive>

<Outline>olive</Outline>
</Inactive>
</WindowStyle>

The second one is a mildly blue theme I call pastel , very easy on the eyes.

Same deal here , paste this into the text file named pastel.

OOps, the remarks are from my previous post called multi.template , you should grab that one to see"where" the colors go.
As the fonts get larger , you need to increase the height of the window title a couple pixels.
Let me know what you think , I've been a bit bored lately.
Closer examination shows my user"nickname" is Mick , hehe.
