Fwd: Re: [e-users] e17 theme

[ken <ken...@ya...>]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! :) I've also moved the site to 
http://kenskate0.tripod.com
I just used gimp and etcher to make it.
Etcher is fairly straight foward once you dive in.  On the default theme,
there are only two border files, selected-0.sticky-0.shaded.0.bits.db and
selected-1.sticky-0.shaded.0.bits.db, the other files are symlinks to those
two files.  But I'm sure you've figured that out. :) First step, is to start
etcher, and open one of the two files above.  From there all you have to do
is start replacing images with the ones that you made in gimp.  There is an
images tab at the bottom to help you through it.  For every part of the
border(menu button, close button...) there are four actions, I only delt with
normal and highlighted.  Watch out when using etcher and save often, the
biggest problem I encountered while making this theme was the display window
in etcher becoming corrupted.  All I had to do was restart etcher to fix it,
and since I saved I did't lose anything.  From what I've gathered the problem
is fixed in newer versions.  And after you load the new theme, restarting e
helps tremendously.  I'm not sure why, maybe e wasn't unloading previous
themes properly, but the borders would look different everytime you would
enter/leave a window.  I tried to cover everything as completely as possible
without boring everyone here, so I hope it helped.  I'm working on a tutorial
with screenshots to put on the tripod page, but it may be another couple of
days.  thanks for the script :)
