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.
