The fonts in use with most of the LXP themes are Lucidia and Verdana, so you will need to install the msttcorefonts and cabextract packages - if I remember corectly the Lucidia fonts should already be installed.

There are a couple of ways to do this, one way is to copy the lxp-themes from /usr/share/lxp-icewm/themes/* (or /usr/local/share/lxp-icewm/themes/*) to your home directory - /home/<username>/.lxp-icewm/themes/ - and then edit the default.theme file in each theme folder. Another way is to create the file ~/.lxp-icewm/prefoverride and add the changes you want to it (hint: use the format seen in the above mentioned default.theme files). What I usually do is open the file ~/.lxp-icewm/preferences file and scroll down 2/3 to 3/4 of the page until I see a section like this:
<snip>
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# Themable preferences. Themes will override these.
# To override the themes, place them in ~/.lxp-icewm/prefoverride
# -----------------------------------------------------------
</snip>
Then I just copy everything from there to the end of the file and paste it into my ~/.lxp-icewm/prefoverride file. Then it's easier to just edit this one file so my prefered fonts and icon sizes are used with every theme.

This is really a question I can't (or shouldn't) answer because I'm not the Lead Developer also I'm not the Project Administrator. You should contact Manuel Carrasco via manuel_carrasco@users.sourceforge.net and ask him NOTE: he has either been very busy or is otherwise MIA as I have not heard from him in several months now :-(

No problem, your english is just fine :-)
Anyway, I hope I've been able to help you with this. If you have any more questions I will be very happy to try and help again.

Myles
