IceWM Themes : ice_CDE

The IceWM window manager is really versatile and easily themable and configurable. A few such scripts can be downloaded from the https://www.box-look.org/ Themes page.

This repository contains a theme based on a former theme names FMotif from Alexander Voigt which I found on the page : https://www.box-look.org/p/1018167/

First inspired by the HP-UX workstations look and CDE (Common Desktop Manager) based on the Motif toolkit, this project has evolved and is now proposed in 4 colors schemes for icewm. It has been enhanced following some discussions with missTell on Box-Look.org in september/october 2022.

Color schemes : Default , Mustard, Crimson and Green.

The icontheme is by ** missTell (2022) ** who gently accepted to structure a real state of the art Gtk iconset from icons coming from former KDE iconset. Webpage of the iconset : https://www.pling.com/p/1920644/

Desktop icon inspired by <a href="https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/glasses" title="glasses icons">Glasses icons created by Those Icons - Flaticon</a>

Some resources :

  • The excellent CDE icon theme by missTell : https://www.pling.com/p/1920644
  • josvanr's Gtk themes which mimic the Motif toolkit for the Default color scheme and the Crimson color scheme : https://github.com/josvanr/cde-motif-theme
  • Itzselenux start.xpm buttons for your distro : https://github.com/ItzSelenux/icewm-menu-buttons

Some references :

  • The Wikipedia page about HP_UX (Hewlett-Packard Unix) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX
  • The wikipedia page about Motif : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_%28software%29
  • The CDE (Common Desktop Environment) project page : https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/

See the changelog for an idea of the maturation of the project.

Hope this work will please you, Stéphane
