Hi Martin,

the GTK theme used is the good old but unmaintained GTK2-Step which is
still available from http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/595 . Luckily, it
happens to work mostly fine with the current classic Gnome. And for the
window decorations, i actually do prefer the more modern ones i used. ;)

In fact, i only tried to glue together what is already readily available
from the net: Your very own wmaker packages compiled from Carlos's GIT
sources, the GTK2step theme mentioned above, the standard Ubuntu 11.04
Live ISO image, and so on. Guess i should include a file stating the
origins of all the bits and pieces used for WMLive.

The only thing i provided myself are quite a few scripts and, of course,
also lots of time for ISO remastering and installation test runs.
Looking back now, i am a bit surprised about what amount of shell script
code has accumulated over time.

The whole wmlive-create package is still a mess though, as it tries to
do too much different stuff at the same time. I should separate the
components doing the remastering basics from all the extras, which i
have included only because of my own personal interest.

Also, it is probably debatable if my choice of eye candy and games
package removals in favor of making space for more practical stuff for
sysadmins was the right way to go. But i really do prefer utilities like
system-config-lvm and gimp over something like compiz, unity, or any
silly game.

Please don't be distracted from the looks and the screenshots, as they
are not really the main interest here. In first place i tried to gather
and glue together via some shell scripts all little tweaks to finally
produce a Live CD image with WindowMaker as default GUI.

This is my own first proposal, and i would be happy if people could have
a scrutinizing look and enhance it.

Thanks
Paul
