Description: A titlebar-less theme made by copying the stippled border from Conky.
Requires: PekWM 1.8+ and the artwiz-fonts package (optional).
Some simple (default) key bindings to remember while using PekWM:
Ctrl + Q/W will quit/close any application. Mod1 (Alt) + Mouse 1 will drag any window. Mod1 + Mouse 3 will resize any window. Mod4 (Windows key) + R will open the PekWM menu. Mod4 + W will open the window menu. Mod4 + D will open the run dialog. Mod4 + C will show a list of current running applications. Mod4 + F will toggle full screen. Mod4 + S will shade any window. Mod4 + I will iconify any application.Last changelog:
13/12/08: Initial upload. 15/12/08: Changed border size from 1x1 to 2x2. 20/12/08: Added alternative colors and matching Conky configurations. 20/02/09: It was a bit too dark before, so I increased the brightness by one shade. The alternative colors were removed as they were too annoying to manage. 22/03/09: Added the old (darker) version as an alternative. 08/07/09: Removed the darker version (too hard on the eyes), split the main theme and conky theme into two packages, cleaned up the code and tweaked the theme. 12/07/09: Fixed the CMD dialog. 22/07/09: Made the CMD dialog slightly bigger and changed the Conky theme.
Hi Pnevma,
This is an awesome pekwm theme and I was just wondering what your Xdefaults/resources file looked like for those nice terminal colors. They are most certainly easy on the eyes.
If you could post them or tell us where you got them, that would be great.
Thanks Pnevma!

Heya Pnevma,
Thanks for the quick response. This is awesome! I'll be using that colorschemer for sure. I always seem to find myself hand editing my .Xdefaults anyway, so maybe this will make things eaiser :) I'll download your config from github for sure.
Thanks again Pnevma,

Hi, I don't know why but your theme does not work for me. It just give me a plain pixel border while there is no problem with the borders of root menus and so. I got a screenshot for you: http://omploader.org/vMTF5YQ
I am using pekwm 0.1.9a under Arch.
It uses a plain pixel border for everything else besides the menus. The stippled border doesn't look too good if it's used on anything but something with a matching color.
Use something like this in your autoproperties:

Very awesome indeed!
A couple of questions:
How do you make titlebar-less themes?
Also: What's that pager thing at the bottom of your screenshot?

Hey, thanks for the comment. To make a theme titlebar-less, you just use the placeholder texture, "Empty", where you would usually put your titlebar textures (buttons sub-section).
And by pager, do you mean the workspace indicator? That's what shows up when you change workspaces. I just GIMP'd all of it together for the screen shot.
Ah, I don't get a workspace indicator when I change workspaces.
Also, trying this now. I'm not getting ANY borders of any kind. Am I doing something wrong?
/izo\
I am using what comes standard in Intrepid Ibex.
Which I believe is 1.5. LOL.
I think I need to remove this installation and manually compile the latest version. I didn't know it was already up to 1.9!
/izo\
Haha, it's actually only up to 1.8. I've been using the git version (1.9) for a while now. I forgot it hasn't actually been released.
As for why it won't work in anything but 1.8+, I figured out the define function I used was only just introduced into 1.8.
I'll edit the description to note that.

pekwm is a window manager that once upon a time was based on the aewm++ window manager, but it has evolved enough that it no longer resembles aewm++ at all. It has a much expanded feature-set, including window grouping (similar to ion, pwm, or fluxbox), autoproperties, xinerama, keygrabber that supports keychains, and much more.

I love it!

I made them using Color Schemer (http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html). You can find them here http://github.com/Pnevma/config/tree/master/.Xdefaults#L65

Property = "^urxvt,^URxvt" {
Decor = "Menu"
}
Property = "^Weechat,^URxvt" {
Decor = "Menu"
}
}
...if you want to force the stippled borders onto certain application. It works well with terminals.
I see, thanks!
this is one of the best pekwm themes mate! rated gud! btw can u lead me to the wallpaper please?
Sure, you can find it here: http://goobacks.deviantart.com/art/New-Wave-103364265
Hey, could you tell me how did you manage to egt real transparency in pekwm? I just cannot do that, dunno why ;/
Ah, that's transset-df and xcompmgr. I have Mod1 + C binded in PekWM to do 'transset-df -p' which will make any window transparent.
I compiled pekwm from git jsut for this theme =D I'm just wondering what gtk themes you would reccomend to go with it.
Well, I uploaded a screen shot of my current setup using Murreza - http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murreza?content=93558, which I made too. Besides that, I suppose any dark theme would look good.

Oops, double post. Uhm, you are using PekWM 1.8/1.9? It doesn't seem to work in 1.7. You can toggle the workspace indicator in you config file.

I understand. I shall uninstall PekWM now and compile 1.8. /izo\
