  About Excelsior

A Theme Engine based on Clearlooks.

menubarstyle = # the style of the menubar. 0 = gummy bar; 1 = glossy bar; 2 = smooth

HINT: gummy + gummy || glossy + glossy || smooth + smooth == merged bar

random_effect = # enable or disable random stuff on buttons/tabs 0 = no; 1 = stripes; 2 = bubbles

TIP:

You can use the Gnome-Color-Chooser to modify the Theme.

If you have Excelsior 1.5.0+ you can also change the engine-options within Gnome-Color-Chooser

INSTALLATION:
Debian Systems

sudo apt-get install fakeroot dpkg-dev

( or: su -c "apt-get install fakeroot dpkg-dev")

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

This will - if you have all deps installed - generate a debian binary package, install it via:

cd .. && sudo dpkg -i excelsior*.deb

(or: cd .. && su -c "dpkg -i excelsior*.deb")

If you have built a package for SID, send it to me, so that I can provide it here

(I'm using GTK 2.13 and PANGO 1.23 at the moment, so I can't provide a Package now)
Non-Debian Systems

./configure --prefix=/usr

make

su -c "make install" / sudo make install

Perhaps you'll like it, too.

Comments welcome.
