if you all want i have several already created themes on my project site.  
there is also some minor projects created for JWM there also


My Webpage

I just tried to install some of the themes on this website, but when trying to untar the package I get a 'this doesn't look like a tar file' error and it won't go any further, had anybody the same problem? which steps should I foolow to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

what was the command you used? the correct command would be
Code Sample
tar -jxvf <theme_name>


the packages are in a bzip2 compression is if not un compressed ( the -j flag in tar) then you will get that error everytime.  or if you want to you can uncompress and untar in different steps.  
Code Sample
bunzip2 <themename>

Code Sample
tar -xvf <themename>


either solution will do.

i hope this works...  if it doesn't let me know which theme you had problems with and i will attempt to debug and fix.

Well here I am again, lost, tried the different commands but still no luck, could be a bug in the themes... but I think it could be more a bug in my brain :-)
Where do I find the JWM files in DSL? I thought they'd be in usr/share/ but they aren't there.
Thanks everyone.

As was originally posted we are using a minimal version of jwm.
It consists of custom jwm binary based on v0.24 plus some code from 1.0 for root window click options. If you read this thread from the beginning you will see several themes posted by user mikshaw and how and where to put them.

I'm starting to like jwm the more I use it, especially with the right click menus that work like fluxbox. Occasionally the icons don't display properly on startup, but come back once I open the icon tool and close it again. The problem now is that I keep trying to reboot and shutdown with the right click when I'm using Windows :O
