I've just been playing with this myself. I didn't use an auxiliary configurator (iceconf|icepref|?) - just diddled with the configuration file and .xpms in ~/.icewm directory structure directly. I've settled on the "nice" theme although one or two of the others aren't too bad. The theme can be selected from the menu. ISTR the source tarball containing some HTML docs (not installed by the package/port AFAICT :-( ), one of which had a description of most of the options that go in the ~/.icewm/preferences file and the ~/.icewm/themes//*.theme files. It was lacking some of the colour options, but I found nearly all of these in the default.theme in one of the other theme directories, and the last one I nutted out by examining the strings in the icewm binary. The only residual wrinkle I've got is the mail icon shown when the INBOX is empty isn't the one I want and I haven't found out where its getting it from :-(. I'm using the version distributed on the 3.1 CDs (0.9.29 IIRC), but I note that icewm's patch level is ratcheting fairly rapidly (think I saw 0.9.41 go by on freshmeat). -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
