Hi Martin, To tell the truth, personally i consider the default configuration to be highly attractive, and it even almost matches my personal desktop. I prefer my work environment to be simple, clean, straightforward and almost empty. Actually i dislike too much eye candy, and my focus is defintely more on the functional side of things.
Check out http://liquidlemur.com/lforum/showthread.php?tid=78 for pointers like these here: http://www.jessanderson.org/wmthemes http://www.mumblelina.com/index.php?themes=1 http://www.cs.mun.ca/~gstarkes/wmaker/themes http://www.gozer.org/window_maker/themes/ There are lots of possibilities to improve the eye candy aspect, just like the Liquid Lemur WMaker Live CD has proven. I downloaded the current RC1 of the Liquid Lemur WMaker edition today from www.liquidlemur.com/cms/downloads and while it is defintely very well done technical wise, i didn't really like this visual "right in your face" overstatement. Actually i wanted to avoid this at all cost, because for me such superficial enhancements are just wasting time without any functional benefit. Form follows function. ;) Yes, the nice GTK2-Step theme doesn't work anymore with GTK3 based applications, and unfortunately i haven't found any suitable GTK3-Step equivalent yet. I prefer this theme due to its clear and simple look.
