I downloaded the wheezy source and built a package on ascii pretty easily last night. Didn't change anything. Some themes work, some don't, and they seem to work better if I use lxappearance-obconf instead of just obconf. Separating the themes into several packages shouldn't be hard, either. Getting them to work with gtk3 might require a large non-gmo care package in the form of a bribe to a certain theme guru. fsr _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
