What is this?
The Ultimate Claws Mail theme is a theme for Claws Mail with icons from the Ultimate Gnome theme for Gnome.
News
Version 0.5.1 is out!
This version adds a couple icons, notably the attach icon.
Working on the little icons for version 0.6! They are problematic, as they do not scale down well to 16x16.

Issues
- Incomplete Set - not all icons are present. Most common ones are, however. The theme is in development.
- PNG support - This theme is PNG, which requires Claws Mail >= 3.4.0
- Duplicates - I only have the icons from the set, so there are some duplicates where I used the closest available icon.
Installation
From the official themes page:
- Untar the package.
- Start Claws Mail.
- Go to /Configuration/Preferences.../Display/Themes
- Click the 'Install new' button and locate the theme directory.
- Click 'OK'
Alternately they can be installed by root by untarring the package directly into $PREFIX/share/claws-mail/themes/ They will then be available to every user.
Configuration
- Start Claws Mail.
- Go to /Configuration/Preferences.../Display/Themes
- Select the required theme from the drop-down list.
- Click the 'Use this' button
Development
Feel free to create some more icons, or find/modify existing ones to fit in. Remember to make them fit in, and make them ~24x24 PNGs.
Status
This theme isn't dead, I just have too much to do. After finals, I will continue with it. In the mean time, version 0.5.1 is excellent.
