Converting an Msstyles theme to Metacity

MegaSvensk · 08-25-2007, 12:07 PM

Hi,

I've been searching for a nice theme to use on Ubuntu, but I haven't been able to find any theme I like as much as my Windows XP Msstyles theme, Royale Noir. Is there any way I can convert this Mstyles (or WindowBlinds) theme to Metacity?

If you can't convert it, how difficult is it to make it yourself? Are there any programs that help you build themes like WindowBlinds' SkinStudio?

I use KDE with Beryl or sometimes just fluxbox depending on the machine and/or situation, so I don't know about Gnome, but you could start at Gnome-Look.org or the Gnome documentation for themes.
