Description: A Perl/Tcl/Tk Motif-ish Theme for GTK-3 & GTK-2
Makes your other desktop applications look very similar to your Perl/Tk and Tcl/Tk apps (A '90s-era colorful chisled-3D Motif look). A configurator script (based on an extended version of Perl/Tk's own setPalette() function) is included that easily allows you to change your color-palette based on any color (You specify your desired base background color and it sets the palette for both GTK-2 & GTK-3 versions - I don't have any GTK-4 apps yet to test on though, contributors are welcome)! Take a break from the drab, flat, gray look of modern themes that give you any background color you want as long as it's light or dark gray! You can also then manually tweak widget colors further to suit your own tastes. Please see the README and INSTALL files on the GitHub site for easy installation, configuration, examples and more details.
This theme is a derived work of Jean-Pierre Bucciol's "OneStepBack" theme (http://www.vide.memoire.free.fr/perso/OneStepBack/onestepback.php), with some tweaks borrowed from Jos Vanriswic's CDETheme v1.3 (https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1231025). Thank you Jean & Jos!
One of the screenshots shows how I have it configured on my desktop and shows both Perl/Tk and non-Perl/Tk app. windows.
It should be window-manager agnostic. I use AfterStep, but it should work the same in IcewWM. IDK how IceWM config/theming work, but I assume you would just want to change your titlebar images and perhaps your background to look ideal with this theme. In AfterStep, I already had my titlebars, titlebar button images and background image configured how I wanted them. If you need the palette colors the configureator script uses, simply edit the configure script and change $DEBUG=0 to $DEBUG=1 and rerun it. It will dump a list of all the palette colors for your chosen color, which you can use in configuring IceWM. Hope that helps.
Thank you for your response. My question is if you could do the same with IceWM; that is to say, to change with a script at the same time the colors to the title bar, taskbar and menu in IceWM; because, in this window manager you have to do it all separately. Thanks again.

Wildstart84, can you make some like this for IceWM themes?
