+Themes For Window Maker
+=======================
+
+Note: the information contained in this file is only valid for themes
+in the .themed (for theme directory) format, supported in 
+Window Maker 0.20.4 or newer.
+
+
+How To Install a Theme Pack
+===========================
+
+To install a theme, unpack your theme into your WindowMaker directory 
+(the same as old-style themes), usually ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker
+
+cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker
+gzip -dc "xyztheme.tar.gz" | tar xvf -
+
+You can also do this in your system-wide WindowMaker directory (usually
+/usr/local/share/WindowMaker) to have the themes be available to all 
+your users. 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. Example:
+
+getstyle -p ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes/MyTheme
+
+This will create a theme pack (a new directory in either the current
+directory or a directory you specify) named MyTheme.themed, containing
+everything it requires, including all pixmap files. In this example,
+the new theme pack would be made in your themes directory and be 
+immediately available in your Themes menu.
+
+Additionally, you can put a text file named MyTheme.lsm in the MyTheme.themed 
+directory. This file can contain info like copyrights, credits or whatever.
+
+To distribute your theme, just make a .tar.gz of the .themed directory.
+This is preferably done from the same directory that you unpack the themes
+from to maintain consistancy with the old theme format.
+
+Example:
+
+cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker
+tar cvf MyTheme.tar Themes/MyTheme.themed
+gzip MyTheme.tar
+
+
+How To Delete a Theme Pack
+==========================
+
+Just remove the .themed directory. Example:
+
+cd ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes
+rm -fr themename.themed
+
+
+How To Save Disk Space
+======================
+
+If you have more than 1 theme that use the same huge background image,
+you can delete all the duplicated files and then create hard links in
+place of them. For example, if you have:
+
+theme1.themed/back.jpg
+
+theme2.themed/backimage.jpg
+
+theme3.themed/back.jpg
+
+and all three files contain the same image, you can do:
+
+rm theme2.themed/backimage.jpg
+rm theme3.themed/back.jpg
+ln theme1.themed/back.jpg theme2.themed/backimage.jpg
+ln theme1.themed/back.jpg theme3.themed/back.jpg
