Free themes for windows vista software for linux

CTWM Themes System in short CTS is a set of CTWM configuration files and shell scripts that adds basic themes-like capabilities to your ctwm window manager.
CTS caracteristics:
- themes are split into look themes and feel themes. Look themes change colors and visual aspect of the window manager, and feel themes change the way you move or place windows, open the menus, etc.
- automatically generated menus allows you to switch look or feel themes. Your choice is saved for your future X sessions.
- you can change the background image used with the current look theme using a menu generated from the images stored in the Backgrounds directory.
- adding a new theme is as easy as unpacking it in the Themes-Look or Themes-Feel directory and restarting ctwm.
How does it work ?
The CTS package provides a .ctwm directory you must place in your home directory.
This directory provides a ctwmrc file that will include other configuration files from the include directory and from the themes directories. Using the m4 preprocessor, the configuration files will read the Themes-Look and Themes-Feel directories and the Backgrounds directory and generate menus allowing you to switch themes and background images.
When you choose a theme in the menus, CTWM calls the "settheme" script that simply change the $HOME/.ctwm/Themes-*/Current link to the new selected theme directory.
The wallpapers are switched using the "setbg" script that change the root windows wallpaper, and place a link to the image in the directory of the current look theme.
The script supports multiple screens, so if you have multiple screens, using the menu will change the wallpaper of the current screen.
Enhancements:
- This version provides many minor enhancements, file name changes, and better themes, but above all, themes are now split into two kinds: "look themes" that change the visual aspects of the window manager, and "feel themes" that change the key bindings, the way windows are raised, etc.
- That way, you can change the colors of the windows while keeping your preferred focus and window raise methods.

xscreensaver lock window themes is a replacement for ugly password lock window.
XScreenSaver is a ubiquitous program on Unix for preventing the pixels of your monitor from burning in, providing pretty animations and providing password protection. However, the default lock window used for password protection is bloody ugly.
The author of XScreenSaver has an explanation on why toolkits like GTK and QT are not used for the lock window and Id agree with his points. However, why not have a built-in theme that is secure?
So what Im providing here is a framework for creating built-in themes. (Note that themes are not run time changeable - only one can be included at any time.) The default theme is shown the above screenshot and other themes are available in the themes page. Creating a new theme requires some graphical talent (of which I have none) for the frame and logo and some programming experience if you wish to adjust the interior. Please feel free to submit themes and I will include them on the theme page.z
Enhancements:
- Version 1.1 patches XScreenSaver 4.22 and perhaps newer versions. (One easily fixable hunk failure against 4.21.)

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-Themer is a program for select Icon, GTK-2, Metacity (and now) cursor and GTK-1 themes and wallpapers and splash screens from one place.

Themus is a collection of theme utilities for GNOME 2.2.
Main features:
- Being able to navigate in Nautilus to themes:/// to view your installed themes.
- Thumbnails for themes in Nautilus.
- A tab in the Nautilus properties for themes.
- Drag and drop support for themes; if you drag a theme into the Nautilus window, it will be installed; if you drag a theme out of the window, the theme file will be saved (though not an entire theme archive).

gentoo splash theme chooser is a gentoo application to choose a gensplash theme.

You can choose a theme and it it will make a symlink from this theme to default in /etc/splash.

After that it mounts /boot and does the following command:

splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash -r resolution default

It does not touch grub.conf

There is a Readme included with an example grub.conf and further information. For me it is a handy tool and I hope it will help other gentoo user too.

wmtheme is a utility which, generally speaking, allows you to perform certain operations on themes by name. For example, to rename do wmtheme -r oldname newname, or to activate do wmtheme name.
Furthermore, it takes great care to make installation painless, in spite of evolving formats, packaging carelessness, and incompatibility between old themes and current window managers. wmtheme -i theme-package.tar.gz will almost always result in a correct installation.
It will also take steps to clean up settings that dont belong in themes, and disable suspicious-looking shell commands (these sorts of things might occur in Window Maker or Blackbox themes). This behavior can be turned off, however.
Enhancements:
- name matching now prefers an initial substring
- change Blackbox version parser to handle 0.65.0s -version output
- use pod for manpage
- support gtk+ version 2, discontinue support for gtk+ version 1
- remove attempts to compile gtk+ engines
- updates for changes in IceWM theme handling
- remove afterstep support
