1. I tried to download the file. IMO the .xz extensión is not common,
why not tgz, tgz,...?
2. Is possible to add your menu scripts in the windowmaker upstream or
debian/ubuntu packages?
3. Why not add all these stuff (themes,...) in one place at
upstream/package?
I was thinking about the menu system, if is better for you, probably is
better for more people. I will try to take a look, and if is better, we
can work to add it to the upstream or debian/ubuntu.
Thanks!

Hi Martin,
To tell the truth, personally i consider the default configuration to
be
highly attractive, and it even almost matches my personal desktop. I
prefer my work environment to be simple, clean, straightforward and
almost empty. Actually i dislike too much eye candy, and my focus is
defintely more on the functional side of things.
Check out http://liquidlemur.com/lforum/showthread.php?tid=78 for
pointers like these here:

http://www.gozer.org/window_maker/themes/
There are lots of possibilities to improve the eye candy aspect, just
like the Liquid Lemur WMaker Live CD has proven. I downloaded the
current RC1 of the Liquid Lemur WMaker edition today from
www.liquidlemur.com/cms/downloads and while it is defintely very well
done technical wise, i didn't really like this visual "right in your
face" overstatement.
Actually i wanted to avoid this at all cost, because for me such
superficial enhancements are just wasting time without any functional
benefit. Form follows function. ;)
Yes, the nice GTK2-Step theme doesn't work anymore with GTK3 based
applications, and unfortunately i haven't found any suitable
GTK3-Step
equivalent yet. I prefer this theme due to its clear and simple look.
Thanks

It seems like you've configured Firefox/Thunderbird to use the
GtkStep2 theme? Just out of interest, I noticed that this theme
does no longer work with the more recent GTK-based applications
(gtk3 if I'm not too mistaken) - has anyone cared to create a
STEP-like theme for the current gtk version?
One last thing - I think you can make the default configuration
a bit more attractive if you preconfigure a nice background
image, also (I haven't seen the CD yet) if it's bundled with
some nice themes to choose from. Just an idea - why not ask
people to send in their personal configurations - themes and
dock (WMState) and add the best ones to the distro, so that
users can choose from them?
Cheers,
M'bert
