In order to begin immersion into the whole dsl-4.x experience with jwm (instead of fluxbox), I took a deep breath and...

The "blackout" theme installed as promised, the "ripples" background installed without problems, ditto the art-whizz(?) fonts and it all looks very impressive - 'course, I just need to move tormso to bottom left, and the bar thing to the top if I want to totally mimic Lucky13's post.

...and (as per the other thread) I need to fix it so <ctrl-v> means "paste" instead of "minimise window" before I throw the laptop out the window :)

I have to take issue with your first sentence. That is not the what dsl 4 is about.

Eye candy is a personal preference. All the things that you mention are in your home directory, i.e., under your control, and have little to no effect on the operational goals of 4.x and differences versus 3.x

I feel like I have had to put on "lipstick" and "rouge" just to be "kissable"

If that is what it takes for one to consider 4.x, oh well. It is certainly not my area of expertist.

Per my question to BobH in the thread for 4.3, I've posted a high contrast jwm theme on my blog. Those of you with limited vision please let me know if I should do this totally monochrome or if the grey is okay.

Thanks Lucky.  Now I have insight into what high contrast looks like!  I may tweak it a bit (for now), but I'm sure others can make good use of it.

I may play around with it more tonight (or this weekend) and see if I can come up with a better monochrome scheme using just black and white. I'll also see if I can find some monochrome icons to convert to xpm and make a UNC to overwrite the ones DSL uses.
