Is there a documentation of kdm theme syntax?

I want do create/change a kdb theme but I can't find a documentation/explanation of the theme syntax. It is obviosly XML but there is no reference manual I could find.

Is there such a thing available?

RE: Is there a documentation of kdm theme syntax?

I've been looking for them too, but haven't found any. I haven't bothered to e-mail the author or any mailing lists, though, so you might want to try that. As an alternative, I'd recommend modifying an existing theme that has features similar to those you want — that's what I did and I'm very happy with what I've got.

OK, so I did the same and customized the Krystal theme with what one could call Try&Error. It is ugly code but it looks roughly how I wanted it to be. Still some docs would be nice.

I had the same trouble, till I found this: http://www.jirka.org/gdm-documentation/x1454.html,
it has explained everything there, so used.

I have a doubt, I use mandriva 2006, and when I put a theme with the userlist visible, this show in the top left corner very narrow and tyni, and I change the x and y and heigh and weigh, in the xml file, but nothing happend, it still the same, any idea.....

Your link is down!! And it contained just the info I was looking for

Have you got a local copy you could post somewhere? I'd have some webspace and would be willing to put it up!

Please email me with any info - many thanks in advance.

Thanks alienator,

good link for gdm, but is it 100% transferable to kdm? The files do appear very similar...

BTW, I am trying to install a kth theme via the command line but find it absolutely impossible to get any documentation which rc files are involved. If anybody has come across any, please post...
