NAME

6        icewm-theme - icewm theme configuration file
7

SYNOPSIS

9        $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/theme
10        $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/theme
11        $HOME/.icewm/theme
12        /etc/icewm/theme
13        /usr/share/icewm/theme
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The theme file contains the name of the default theme.  On startup
17       icewm reads this file to obtain the theme name, unless icewm was
18       started with the --theme option.  Whenever a different theme is
19       selected from the icewm Menu then the theme file is overwritten with
20       the name of the selected theme.
21

FORMAT

23       This theme file contains the keyword "Theme", followed by an equals
24       sign, followed by a double-quoted string with the theme name.  The
25       theme name is the name of the theme directory, followed by a slash,
26       followed by the theme file.
27
28       Usually the theme file is just default.theme, but a theme may have
29       alternatives.  Alternatives are small tweaks of a theme.  These are
30       specified in their own .theme file, which replaces default.theme.
31
32       If no theme file exists then icewm will use the default setting of
33       "Theme="default/default.theme"".
34

EXAMPLES

36       Following is my current theme file.  You can see from the comments that
37       icewm(1) keeps a history of the previous ten theme settings.
