NAME

        icewm-theme - icewm theme configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/theme
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/theme
       $HOME/.icewm/theme
       /etc/icewm/theme
       /usr/share/icewm/theme

DESCRIPTION

       The  theme  file  contains the name of the default theme.  On startup icewm reads this file to obtain the
       theme name, unless icewm was started with the --theme option.  Whenever a  different  theme  is  selected
       from the icewm Menu then the theme file is overwritten with the name of the selected theme.

FORMAT

       This  theme  file  contains  the keyword "Theme", followed by an equals sign, followed by a double-quoted
       string with the theme name.  The theme name is the name of the theme  directory,  followed  by  a  slash,
       followed by the theme file.

       Usually  the theme file is just default.theme, but a theme may have alternatives.  Alternatives are small
       tweaks of a theme.  These are specified in their own .theme file, which replaces default.theme.

       If no theme file exists then icewm will use the default setting of "Theme="default/default.theme"".

EXAMPLES

       Following is my current theme file.  You can see from the comments that icewm(1) keeps a history  of  the
       previous ten theme settings.

           Theme="Unexicon-towers/default.theme"
           #Theme="Unexicon-pedestals/default.theme"
           ##Theme="Unexicon-penguins/default.theme"
           ###Theme="Unexicon/default.theme"
           ####Theme="Squared-for-debian/default.theme"
           #####Theme="Squared-grey/default.theme"
