To be honest, I don't really like Nodoka (/Ducks) - plus, while I did find a good base for a Clearlooks theme made for Ubuntu (/Ducks once again), I didn't really find anything that was even close to looking like Nodoka. (Goes to check again) Plus, at least for now, I rather have one theme across all platforms. > > > > > A couple of problems/questions: > > 1.

Though, I should add that: A. icewm comes by default with a number of rather basic themes . B. The default theme is rather... no-so-pretty. (RedHat Linux 4 anyone?) > > > 2.

Assuming that my theme can auto-locate the distribution's logo and use it. What's wrong with that? Legal issues aside, shouldn't icewm/CentOS look somewhat different than icewm/RHEL or icewm/Fedora? > > Rahul > - Gilboa -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
