Bug 4427 – [New eBuild] x11-themes/fluxbox-themes

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jens Schittenhelm 2002-07-02 08:24:52 UTC]

--seemant

I've created a new ebuild for your x11-themes group. This script will currently
install only two themes from freshmeat.net but can easily extended. It works
like your sawfish-theme script but is adopted to the fluxbox needs.

jens,

will they work with blackbox and openbox (and hackedbox, I guess too)?

[Comment 3 Jens Schittenhelm 2002-07-02 08:49:09 UTC]

I verified that for blackbox. The only difference is, that they hace to go in
/usr/bin/blackbox instead of /usr/bin/fluxbox to get them working. However I do
not understand why freshmeat divides them into two different categories.

[Comment 4 Jens Schittenhelm 2002-07-02 08:50:26 UTC]

sorry, mistake! the correct path would be /usr/share/blackbox

[Comment 5 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2002-07-15 06:31:44 UTC]

Jens,

on further consideration, I think it is better for individual themes like this
to just get installed by the users themselves either in
/usr/share/commonbox/styles (in gentoo's new implementation) or in
~/.[whatever]box/styles

I am, however, willing to consider a gentoo theme :)

See also this ebuild:

I'm consider an ebuild called: coomonbox-background-themes which will install a
bunch of flux/open/hackedbox themes into /usr/share/commonbox/styles and the
appropriate backgrounds into /usr/share/commonbox/backgrounds. what do you think?
