icewmtheme

icewmtheme is a command-line utility used to manage themes for the IceWM window manager. IceWM is a lightweight stacking window manager for X11, known for its speed and low resource usage. Themes in IceWM control the visual appearance of the window borders, title bars, buttons, menus, and other graphical elements.

The icewmtheme utility allows users to easily switch between installed IceWM themes without needing to manually edit configuration files. It typically presents a list of available themes, and the user can select one to apply. This selection process usually involves copying or linking the chosen theme's files to the appropriate directory within the user's IceWM configuration.

Themes for IceWM are generally composed of several components. These can include pixmaps for window decorations, colordef files to define color schemes, and potentially configuration snippets for specific theme behaviors. icewmtheme simplifies the management of these components by treating an entire theme as a single selectable unit.

Users can find and download IceWM themes from various online repositories and communities. Once downloaded, these themes can be placed in a designated themes directory, often within the user's home directory under .icewm/themes. icewmtheme then scans this directory to populate its list of available themes. The utility is a convenient way to personalize the look and feel of the IceWM desktop environment.
