MG-Cloud Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Hi, With the advent of this new section (AWESOME! :D), I thought it would be cool to list a few theming sites for Linux. I'll list the ones I know of: http://themes.freshmeat.net - themes for almost every wm http://www.gooeylinux.org - mainly centered around gnome and the osx look http://www.kde-look.org - themes for kde http://art.gnome.org - themes for gnome http://www.themedepot.org - themes for many wms Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/148258-good-linux-theming-resources/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

neofeed Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I guess you are looking for gkrellm.

( if you want them in the bottom bar or where ever your gnome/xfce bar is located ) or gdesklets, karamba, superkaramba ( if you want the stats on the desktop, like OSX's dashboard ) kindest regards, Moritz "neofeed" Angermann Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/148258-good-linux-theming-resources/#findComment-2422884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ootput Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 FVWM Beginner's Guide Warning: Not for the faint of heart! While the title suggests otherwise, .fvwm2rc's can take a while to get used to. The sample code provided will give you a useable (but ugly) desktop. Make sure you read the documentation thoroughly before attempting to create your own theme from scratch. It's better to ignore the snippets that you've obtained throughout the years, and to actually understand the inner workings of Fvwm. Have fun!

vhcs Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 ClosedAs all of you have noticed, Gooeylinux has been dead. Mike and I have become very busy in recent months, and have had neither the time nor the motivation to continue running the forum. Mike started this site as a haven for linux users from other communities, and I feel that we've done that. But there are at this point many other places one can turn to for Linux GUI customization, and forums need a very strong body of members contributing to survive. Gooeylinux was a fun, but failed experiment. Thank you to everyone who helped with the site. We met lots of interesting people, and I hope we helped some people as well. The IRC channel (#gooeylinux - irc.freenode.net) will stay open, so feel free to join us there. Also, all the subprojects of gooeylinux will remain available. Archives of the forum will appear shortly. If you have any comments/questions, email me. --contrasutra (ben@gooeylinux.org) , 11/25/04 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

bvcmdk Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 If any links are dead sorry....this is quite old and from what I've posted on 2 other forums Metacity Theme Editor http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.p...9400&highlight= general (know the environment) http://www.gnomefiles.org/ http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=114 SmoothEngine http://gnome.org/~thos/Smooth-Docs/ http://www.unit-e.cc/~ajgenius/Gnome/Theme...id=SmoothEngine http://sourceforge.net/projects/smooth-engine/ http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=114 http://web.subpop.net/art/smoothgnome/ GTK http://www.unit-e.cc/~ajgenius/Gnome/Theme...s/?id=GTKThemes Metacity http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/m...ity-themes.html ICONS http://www.unit-e.cc/~ajgenius/Gnome/Theme.../?id=IconThemes http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=385 http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.p...hlight=standard http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.p...hlight=standard http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.4/gtk...tock-Items.html Help other than here http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=20 Tinkering and hacking others themes is necessary to really get it. Docs are very limited. So get stuff and hack! That's what I did. http://gnome-look.org/ http://art.gnome.org/ http://www.themedepot.org/ you need images for pixmap themes and practice? http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1 the .wba extension is seen as a zip type by file-roller ;) Errors Whether gtk, metacity, or icon theming, errors may or may not be printed in vt1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) depending on the distro you use. Mandrake used to, but doesn't seem to anymore. Debian's and Fedora do. You can easily get the errors by running gnome-theme-manager in an X terminal (Gnome Terminal, Aterm, Eterm, Xterm, rxvt etc....). Metacity Metacity has a nice tool. The metacity-theme-viewer Run it from an X terminal; metacity-theme-viewer name_of_metacity_theme [example]metacity-theme-viewer d3a and you can find out how fast it loads and errors pointing to any problems with loading the theme. It opens a gui to show you all the different aspects of the theme. http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/ http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gtk+/docs/wid...try.txt?rev=1.5 ################## Scalable Vector Graphics This is what I'm currently interested in and researching. Instead of pixmap, you can make svg/gtk and metacity themes, and of course icon themes. http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/ http://www.inkscape.org/ (has a built in tutorial) http://www.sodipodi.com/ http://programmer-art.org/?page=inkscape oh, and GIB http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=385 if the downlaod isn't available I have them here http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/icons/gib/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/148258-good-linux-theming-resources/#findComment-586146768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
