NAME

setup — configure GUI appearance

SYNOPSIS

Tools tab: Setup

DESCRIPTION

The Setup tool allows you to customize the appearance of the SavaJe OS GUI shell. In addition, you can add application tabs and JNLP files to the GUI desktop.

Adding your own color themes

You can also create your own color themes for the GUI shell. The following file is an example.

# This is an example of a Theme contained in a text file.
# save in /ramfs/users/<name>/savaJe/shell.theme
# Select 'User' from the theme selection control.
name=Charcoal
primary1=33,66,66
primary2=66,99,99
primary3=99,99,99
secondary1=0,0,0
secondary2=51,51,51
secondary3=102,102,102
black=255,255,255
white=0,0,0

Place it in your user directory in this file: /ramfs/users/<name>/savaJe/shell.theme. You can then select the theme User from the setup tool. It will pick up this file and change the colors. All colors are in RGB format.
