iconbar and E16

I've got iconbar running, but for the life of me can't figure out how to change the theme. I read on another forum that one is to use:
build_iconbar_db.sh

but that is not included in the ebuild of iconbar.

Does anyone know how to change the theme for iconbar?

just figured it out myself.. untar the theme-package and go into the directory. there should be a specific script (there should be only one). by running the script the ~/.e/iconbar/iconbar.eet -file (which is the theme-file) gets overwritten by the new theme.

that should work

The build_iconbar_db.sh was for the old e17 based iconbar. The iconbar in portage is the newer edje based one ... nicer app

to change the theme, you will either have to make your own, grab a pre-made theme, or edit a pre-made theme.

I grabbed this tarball and slightly edited the theme. I replaced the backgrounds with blank graphic files then ran edje_cc enstromish.edc enstromish.eet, then copied enstromish.eet to ~/.e/iconbar/iconbar.eet.

Transparent zooming iconbar ..... fits on any desktop.
