WHAT IS ICEPREF?

---

IcePref is an advanced Gtk-based IceWM configuration utility written in PYTHON, using the PyGtk libraries. It is one of the most (if not, THE most) advanced and stable configuration tools for IceWM that I have seen yet. The original author of IcePref is David Mortensen [SLQTN@cc.usu.edu, http://members.xoom.com/SaintChoj/icepref.html] who started the IcePref project back in 1999. He appears to have completely abandoned the IcePref project, as he has not updated IcePref since the summer of 2000 (back when IceWM was at version 0.9.54), and his web site no longer exists. I love IceWM and IcePref...and IcePref needed a SERIOUS upgrade - so I did it (everybody else seemed to lazy to do it). Welcome....IcePref2 version 3.4...

This is IcePref2 version 3.4 - It is an updated, overhauled, improved, and perfected version of the original IcePref (see credits above). This new version, distributed under the same GNU GPL (General Public License) as the original IcePref, includes many new features and bug fixes, optimized for IceWM 1.2.6 and better. It's been tested on IceWM versions 1.2.2 - 1.2.15. You are free to copy, change, and distribute IcePref under the terms of the GNU GPL.

Updates by: Erica Andrews (PhrozenSmoke [at] yahoo.com), January 2003 - August 2004

Copyright: Copyright (c) 2003-2004 Erica Andrews.   Copyright (c) 1999-2003 David Mortensen This work comes with no warranty regarding its suitability for any purpose. I do NOT claim to be the new maintainer of IcePref, I've simply released an upgraded version of IcePref. I will not be handling "bug reports", especially if your system doesn't meet the system requirements (below). If you are not familiar with Python and running Python applications, do NOT contact me if you have trouble running the application, as I am not here to "teach" people how to use Python, install needed modules, etc. That's your problem.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Python 2.2 or better (version 1.5 will NOT work), PyGtk-2 1.9.9/2.0.0 or better, Gtk+2, IceWM 1.2.6 or above highly recommended

FEATURES (to name a few): Improved user interface, IceWM options now organized in a more logical manner, previewing of themes, previewing of desktop wallpaper, optimized for IceWM 1.2.15 (but is known to work with IceWM 1.2.2 and above), support for all the new options in the IceWM 1.2.15 preferences file, and IcePref2 can now be started by "module" (i.e. just theme settings, just wallpaper settings, etc.)
