For those interested, there have been 33,462 e16 themes downloaded from this site during June and July.

There were a few IP's that seemed to download everything three or four times over (not sure what that was about). But still.. there seems to be a descent amount of interest in e16.

below are some of my modest attempts:
Download page (Note: these themes do not use font-aliases and are not from this site. /Don)

"Lave" have a fixed border and the rest are reconfigured to use the default fonts (symlinks). It's enough to point this symlinks to the DejaVu fonts (for example) to eliminate all UTF-8 related issues.

all of this is done because "fonts.xft.cfg" simply doesn't work and no correct symbols are displayed for my locale.

JavaSteel is a remake/replacement for what used to be known as Metal. For those of you that have used Metal before you'll appreciate the near complete rewrite. ;-)

ThiNicE has been submitted by Sven. It was created a couple of years ago and is a nicely done, clean, e16 theme. It's original name didn't do it justice so I've taken the liberty to give it a more elegant and descriptive name.

I'm using E16 and I like it very much.
Now I want to use the systray box, but I can't find any doc about the .cfg file for the use of the systray and the syntax for adding icon's files in it.
I hope to be in the right forum.

Hooray enlightenment!

There is a couple of really cool new features in regards to theming that Kim has implemented on my request (thanks Kim!).

One of which was to implement a method for beveling tiled images (as explained in the announcement).

The other (and equally as cool, but unfortunately not mentioned in the announcement) is the ability to flip and rotate images with image class syntax. Now you don't have to needlessly save additional copies of images that have nothing different about them other than rotation or flipping/mirroring.

I hope to find time to get back to theme documentation for e16 and elaborate more on the details soon. And of course, an explanation on how to setup a theme for font-aliases.
