Elvis X11 Themes

When viewing this page with elvis, move the cursor onto the theme's [download] box and hit <Enter>. Elvis will automatically download it, install it, and then load so you can see what it looks like right away.

Some of these themes involve fairly large images. The theme's size is indicated in the [download] box. Before downloading a large theme, you might want to read the description to decide whether it's worth the effort.

If you're viewing this with a normal web browser such as Netscape, then the screen shots should be visible below. If you're using elvis, you should be able to view the screen shots by clicking on the [screen shot] box. The screen shot files are usually in the 20K to 25K byte range. Note that some of the actual themes are smaller than their screen shots.

Only the current beta-test version of elvis supports themes, and even it only supports them when using the "x11" interface. Other versions of elvis can't even download these, let alone use them.

	ceiling [download 34K] The normal background is intended to look like acoustic ceiling tile, with a slightly brownish tint. Widgets use a different, bolder background image.
	fungus [download 282K] Arrangement in gray and black. The normal background resembles a fungus. A different image is used for widget backgrounds.
	greenbar [download 1K] This is intended to resemble the classic green bar printer paper. It only uses one small image, so this is a very compact theme.
	greenspeckle [download 34K] Normal text uses a speckled image that looks sort of like institutional linoleum, tinted dark green. A different image is used for the widget backgrounds. Of course, if you don't like green you can easily change the tint yourself.

	nebula [download 1112K] Dark background, using a large image of a nebula. The image was distributed with Eterm-0.9.1.
