Description

This theme is actually released to 'provoke' the ripper 'Fatec', who has rereleased my theme as his own creation.
The only changes he made to the theme is the font size and iconsize, and that's about it.
See my 'Gnome for Litestep' for details [link] if it has any interest.

So as a 'counterattack', i've done the exact same things (smaller fonts and icons) and:

-Slimmed down the top and bottom bar (felt a bit too big before)
-Relocated some objects (to fit the smaller bars and just general polish of placement)
-Changed some icons (personal preference)
You can get the Tango icons on [link]
-Vwm is smaller now.
-Added a show/hide Tray feature to the seperator next to the clock.
Right click the seperator to hide the tray, Left click to show it again.

Update 17.October
-fixed tray and recycle-bin popup going to the second monitor in dual-monitor setup (i think. can't test it)
-Icondesk Font look changed
-Changed the appearance of the right-click popup
-The theme now works with the theme installer.
-The show/hide seperator now toggles the tray on and off on left click
-The Ubuntu icon is updated and is now merged with the applications menu.
-Right clicking the Ubuntu icon/applications menu will now open up a 'Theme settings' popup.
Clicking 'Clock and font settings' opens up a txt file where the user can set font, fontsize and time format (24H-AM/PM).
I'm aware that this is a rather simpel solution, but it'll have to do for now as i don't have alot of time on my hands atm.
-Removed 4 unused fonts.
*updated various modules.

Update 18.October
-All labels/modules are now OnTop
-Rightclicking the 'show desktop' button now restores the minimized windows
-Gave the clock more width to fit long day input.

Update 19.October
-Updated the desktop module to Clickonic.
(icons are movable)
-New Graphics for Flashing button (taskbar)
-New Graphics for Hovering button (taskbar)
-Fixed disappearing background images for tabs (taskbar), when they're minimized.

Known Bugs:
-The theme sometime stays on top in full screen applications

For now, this can by bypassed by creating a hotkey in the hotkey.rc file (in the 'personal' folder),
that hides and shows the modules/theme.

for example :
*HotKey CTRL+ALT T !Togglemodules

Pressing CTRL+ALT and T would then toggle the theme on and off

Working on:
-Xlabel Box splashscreen
