FLTK themes

(1/2) > >>

Ingrid:
Hi everybody!

I'm a long time forum lurker and Tiny Core Linux lover. It's by far my favorite Linux distro.

Right now I'm trying to make a TCL remake for my friends and family who are far less tech savvy than me. This group of users generally care a lot about the look and feel of the OS they run. For this reason I either have to remove the FLTK apps from the mix or I have to skin them.

The past few days I've spent searching these forums, the FLTK website and the web in general for info about how to make FLTK themes. I've found very little info this far. I know it uses a GTK like theming system, but I don't know specifically what that means. I know there are currently three themes available; default, GTK like and plastic. But that's about it. I guess there are very few people interested in this topic compared to KDE, GTK and Windows theming, but that just makes this even more interesting.  ;)

My question then is this; can somebody here provide me with any info on how to do this, or at least point me in the direction of some useful info? I'm at a complete loss on where to look.

curaga:
AFAIK every one of those three themes is hard-coded to the fltk source.

Ingrid:
That would certainly explain a lot. Is it enough to have to have a look at the fltk source code or do I have to theme every single fltk app?

curaga:
If you really want to do that, you'd code a fourth theme, build your version of fltk, and remaster with that instead of the fltk we ship.

tinypoodle:
in ~/.Xdefaults either of following lines would do:

--- Code: ---fltk*scheme:plastic
fltk*scheme:gtk+

--- End code ---
