Man, there are not many theme options out there. Can anybody make a theme that looks like axxrom for icewm? here is a screenshot from my laptop:

This is definitely classier than most of the bulky themes i've seen so far.

That theme would be impossible to port.

A Macified recreation would probably rock though...

Was my Amelie theme that bad of an idea, or am I reading your post wrong?

If you guys really want it, I can put in the work to get it going. It would give me an excuse to get off my lazy arse and make a theme for once...

If done right. If not, it could suck some serious arse.

That part with the title bars isn't possible. OS X doesn't let you cap the ends of the text. It's one image on the left. One tiled across the middle and one on the right end. Unfortunately, since OS X isn't made for Theming, Apple won't make it easier for us.

so how easy it is to replace the osx window manager with icewm from linux? i guess this is more of a unix question. If i replace aqua or whatever with icewm, will that kill my titlebar on the top? since there is only one mouse button, i think the titlebar is pretty key.

You can't replace it. And if you did, you would lost all Aqua apps.
