Toolbar tip - Changing that ugly LED Clock

[da S. J. <Joe...@em...>]

This is probably obvious to the more knowledgable (most?) users,
but anyway ...

While I liked several IceWM themes, such as the "nice" theme,
what I hated was the very ugly LED clock I got with most of them.

Well, I have recently discovered that if I install the BluePlastic
theme (included for instance, in Mandrake 8.0 distribution's
IceWM 1.0.7-4), I can then copy the contents of it's "LedClock"
subdirectory (I may have the exact name or capitalisation wrong
here, BTW) into IceWM's default "LedClock" directory (IIRC, a
subdirectory of '/usr/lib/X11/icewm'). The end result is that the
default "LED clock" used by most themes now becomes that
used by the BluePlastic theme, and blends in much better with
the Toolbar. The colour match is not perfect (eg. to the "nice"
toolbar), but pretty good - much better (IMHO) than the "black
rectangular hole" effect presented by the standard "LED Clock".
:-)
