Thanks to Brady and Andy for the help with themes. I had missed the distinction between gtk themes and sawfish themes. The gnome configuration tool I was using assumed they were gtk themes and installed them in ~/.themes, but they needed to be in ~/.sawfish/themes. It really is the .sawfish theme I'm trying to change; I have this problem that right clicking in the button on the top left side of the window kills it at home, but opens the pull down menu at work and vice-versa for left clicking... Guess I'll just live with the defaults which aren't too painful. Still working on the embossed logo problem.... Thanks again, Rob On 2 Jan 2002, Brady Hegberg wrote: > 1.
