    well just a question why do you choose double color and drop down menu icon that arrow? and l hope you find the trick for the large scrollbars,
    if we know the roadmap to this project we can suggest something like adding some vista icons features just a suggestion here. also the other applets have a slight rounded corners so if you can make the top-level bar look similar will make it more like maemo made.

    Hi,

    Un27Pee, why would you add or want to add Vista icons to a Windows XP theme?

    Quick and dirty way is to repack the deb with the added files in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/hildon and add an gtk-update-icon-cache in the postinst

    Are you talking about the color and arrows on the application menu if you are those colors and arrow are taken from windows XP thats why. As far as I icons I will be adding some XP icons to it I might do a new vista theme after this theme and my Linux Mint theme are done.

    As far as the icons go and the large screen bar they both require I repack my deb since the theme maker can't do that as of right now I'm not sure how to do it. Qwerty12 if you know how Can you help me with that or do it for me?

    Two questions:

    Even though I think the xp theme is fun I unstalled it some days ago. But it still shows up in the 'set theme' menu. How do I completely uninstall it?

    A related question is that I'm trying to make my own theme but it won't show up in said menu. I copied the echo folder in /usr/share/themes to echo2, changed the theme name in index.theme and deleted the 'cache' files from the gtkrc folder in it, thinking it works the same way as with the icon cache. After rebooting I expected it to see in the theme selection menu but I didn't. Any idea why?

    I have no idea, I haven't heard anyone say that they couldn't uninstall the theme I uninstall it several times a day when I'm updating and it always go away. Try to remove it again and see if it works. The best way to make a new theme is to just use theme maker. Only way I know of.

    Sure, I can help you do it if you have a deb based linux distro, if not, I can do it for you.
