Free themes software for linux

gnome-themes is a GNOME theme manager.

All the a11y themes in this module inherit from the gnome theme. The gnome theme is in the gnome-icon-theme module, and has to be built and installed separately.

1. Editing the gtkrc files

The gtkrc.in files for each a11y theme are currently generated by autogen.sh. Each gtkrc.in file is the concatenation of these files:

$theme/gtk-2.0/$theme.rc
common/gtk-stock-icons.rc
common/panel-stock-icons.rc
common/media-stock-icons.rc
common/capplet-stock-icons.rc

It follows that you should NOT edit gtkrc.in directly. Instead, edit the appropriate .rc file, then re-autogen before building. This obviously kind of sucks, but it was the only way I could get it to work at the time :/

2. Adding new icons

The module is currently configured to make it easy to add or remove a stock icon from all themes at once, but not so easy to do so on a per-theme basis. This works well for now but probably wont if we want to make this a more general theme repository.

So, to add a new gtk stock icon to all themes:

- Add the icons filename to common/all-stock-items.data
- Add the line you want to appear in the themes RC files to the appropriate common/*.rc file
- Add the icon files, each with the same filename, to all the /pixmaps/ directories.

GNOME icons that are themed via the icon theming mechanism (as specified on freedesktop.org) are currently still added individually in each < theme >/icons subdirectory. E.g. to add a new 48x48 application icon to all the themes, you have to modify each < theme >/icons/48x48/apps/Makefile.am individually, and add the appropriate icon file to each < theme >/icons/48x48/apps directory.

3. Changing icon sizes

The icon sizes for ALL the LargePrint themes are defined in configure.in. Changing them here will affect all LargePrint themes.

4. Changing colours

To change the colours in a particular theme, edit its /gtk-2.0/ .rc file.

5. Switching icon themes

In 2.2 and later, use gnome-theme-manager, and choose the Icon theme from the Details subdialog.

In earlier versions of GNOME, unless youre running my patched theme switcher dialog (patch in bugzilla,
#93486), youll need to switch icon themes by hand using GConf:

$ gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme " " --type=string

6. To create low contrast icons in GIMP from the original coloured icon

Use the low-contrast-preset.scm GIMP script in this directory to create a low contrast icon from a regular-coloured icon. (Read the comments in the script for instructions on how to install and use it.) Thanks to Guillermo for providing this!

Note: In GIMP, Input=0/0.6/255, Output=75/255 seems to give results closer to the icons Suzanna converted in Photoshop, but plugging these values into this script seems to give different results from doing it manually in the Levels dialog :/

Gnome Icon Theme package contains icons for the GNOME desktop.

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.

QiuX is a GDM theme for the GNOME desktop.

I though my first theme wasnt finish and so I made a new one - which I say it is better version of the first.

Dont think I am stuck with this idea, I just want to perfect it and when I will be pleased I will make other cool GDM themes.

So, what did I do in this new theme? I changed a little the buttons, added a cool gradient, changed the color of the text "Username:".

KDM Theme manager is just what it says a theme Manager for KDM.
This control module allows you to easily add, remove and select any KDM theme you want.
Enhancements:
- Added Indonesian/Manaysian translation to the .desktop (thanks kucrut!)
- Finally applied a patch sent to me back when 1.1 was released, which fixes an issue when the kdmrc file could not be found. To the one who sent me this patch Sorry it took me so long, patch got lost in all my files and didnt apply cleanly due to the massive changes in 1.0.1 -> 1.1
- Added French, Italian and Japanese translations to the .desktop (thanks Lorenzo La Spada!)
- Fixed a typo which caused an error message to be printed when it shouldnt have.
- Updated documentation.
