Wallpaper: Your choice... looks good with fall colors, mists, grasslands
If you like the start/menu icon and are using a different panel/taskbar than IceWm, for example: Xfce4panel, Lxdepanel etc. I have placed it at ~/Sage/gtk-2.0/Panel folder or many more options at ~/IceWm/Sage/taskbar/menu-logos folder.
Right click on your start/menu icon >Select > properties and link to above locations to change your icon.
New to themes? create a folder, in your home directory ~/.themes for example mine is /home/justus/.themes the dot before themes means it is hidden and linked to /usr/share/themes Can not find it? go to your file menubar, click View, click Show Hidden Now, download your chosen theme, right click the downloaded file, chose extract here, grab the extracted file and drop in your .themes folder. Then open up your favorite appearance manager and select the newly installed theme. There are other ways to install themes but this is the best way! It allows you to control or change parts of the theme without going to root and possibly doing some harm to your file system.
You may also consider creating a folder called ~/.icons where you can place downloaded icon themes and mouse cursor themes
And another folder callled ~/.fonts where you can place downloaded fonts

Changes: September 5, 2014
changed colors of: bg_color, base_color, selected_bg_color, selected_fg_color redraw of all arrows to resemble spin button arrows changed prelight scrollbar slider, changed scrollbar troughs added some elements to treeview-item to give distinct look for sidebars. removed snow from buttons top corners redo entry.png and shadow pngs, added active and normal bg fattened range sliders flipped notebook tabs around, darkened outlines, remade notebook to match new active tab. new panel / taskbar image and panel button redraw added xonclock theme and config file (does not play well with Desktop enviroments, for example... Gnome, Xfce4), however works fantastic with window managers. added another IceWM theme- Sage-Fresh, larger titlebar, larger titlebar buttons, new taskbar Added checkbox and radiobutton to default list, places these pixmap options in all menus. Midori looks great with this theme Firefox ver. 32 looks good, if you add "Classic Theme Restorer" extension
Liked the look of this but the window borders are faulty in xfce4 see here:

Middle of top and bottom missing, tried with and without composite manager same result.
will vote for this if it can be fixed
Keith,
Looks like you got a corrupt download,
the dropbox pic. is not even Sage but looks
like a faulty Chi2 xfwm theme.
I re-downloaded Sage, backed up my original
and replaced with this version and there
is no difference.
I am in Xfce4.10 at this moment with no problems
with or without compositing.
If you want to wait a few days, I am porting
over my latest IceWm theme Sage-Fresh with
bigger title buttons, and I might make a change
or two the old Sage xfwm theme. Plus,
I have some gtk2 theme changes expressly for
Xfce panel.
If you have my Christmas theme Cranberry, try
that xfwm theme, For a different look.
Been busy trying to get things buttoned up for
winter. I will try to work it in this weekend.
Ill try redownloading it, I have looked at cranberry ( ooh shamlessplugging by you ! ), but i prefer my own xmas theme

( shamlessplugging by me! )
This is real artwork. Is a pleasure to see such great work and hope you will never stop. Takes a lot of time to get colors looking so rich and vibrant. Believe me, I tried many times with pngs, svgs, to get it to look even half this great! Absolutely love it
Thanks Bob,
You made my day!
It has been a long rocky road,
I finally feel comfortable using Gimp.
Here is a little secret, I use gcolor2,
in tandem with Gimp, using gcolor2; color
picker helps me set Gimps colorize options.
It is a real time saver and helps get
the colors dead on.
take care,
Thank-you William,
I do not have gtk3 installed, tried it once , did not like it.
So, no gtk3 port from me, sorry.
I have moved on or back some might say. Went to something
simpler and more stable that does not require gtk3.
I do not use Gnome 3 apps or KDE 4 apps. I use Xfce 4,
gtk2 and qt apps. I was using Xfce 4 desktop, but now mainly
use IceWm as my session manager. Heck I no longer use
a login manager. With Archlinux as my Operating System and
a 120 GB SS Drive, I go from boot screen > autologin > to my
IceWm session in less than 7 seconds. Had to wait for Wicd
network manager to catch up another 10 to 15 seconds until
I found connman network manager, it is up and running before
I can open my web browser.
BTW, ubuntu 7.10 ? Gnome was my first, then I became a Distro
hopper, many OS's later I have found a home with Arch.
Likewise, with desktops and window managers I have run
the gauntlet and IceWm just feels like home.

Looks very neat... Any chance of a GTK3 port?
