Hello. Icedesert is a theme included with icewm. N-icedesert is a mod of this theme. I like the updated look, but the panel is dark and I really wanted a lighter taskbar. After some searching I found a theme named eiskristall. This theme must have been a precursor the n-icedesert theme since so many elements were similar. So it was only natural that I blend these two themes together. And after some minor tweaks to the menu and the taskbar, here's what I came up with:


If you dig it, you can find it here:

Hi John:

It looks really nice. I followed the link you posted and was unable to find it. Even after I searched for 413508be42. It looks (at least in my screen) as if part of the link is missing?

Anyway, great job. I look forward to downloading it installing.

Regards,

Pedro

Hmm. I really don't know how to do hyperlinks very well. Try this link instead.

Hi John:

That linked worked! Now I have an antiX question. Is there a directory for themes?

Thanks.

Pedro

You should have a .themes in your home directory. I would put it in /usr/share/themes though. This way it is accessible to all users.

Hrm....I get an error when I try to open the tar ball, either with X-archiver or with a shell.

With tar, I get

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Don't know what that means.

Thanks.

Pedro

1. I like to have a themes folder in my home directory for icewm themes.

~/.icewm/themes/

2. To extract this type of archive, open a terminal and do

tar xvf nameoffile.extension

OU812 another Masterpiece this one will also look good on Mac OSX. Keep on the Masterpiece work you seem to getting better and faster with the themes.

Best Regards,

Thanks, buddy. I thought I missed by a mile with that one.
