This will probably need to be done with root access. - - -How To Load a Theme -=================== - -Use the setstyle command to load a theme. Example: - -setstyle xyztheme.themed - -Note that if you move the directory of the theme (for example, from -~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes to /usr/local/share/WindowMaker/Themes) -you will have to reload that theme so that path information is updated. - - -How To Make a Theme Pack -======================== - -To create a theme pack from your current configuration, use the getstyle -utility with the -p flag.
