I rarely find an off-the-shelf desktop theme I really like. I'm fussy about interfaces and can't help fiddling with things until they are just the way I like them. The screenshots (click a small desktop image) will show you how I like my desktop laid out.

Here are the themes I have created for my own use. Feel free to use, alter and distribute them - just give me a namecheck and a link to this site :-)

Click on the small images to get a full size screen-shot.

Simply copy the .ktheme file to a safe place and use the KDE Control Center Theme Manager to install it.
nb. You may need to shift-click or right-click the download link to save the .ktheme file.

Pine and Titanium - download This is my day-to-day desktop theme. It matches my room's decor - the wallpaper is just a scan of my desk. I use the KDE2 Default window decorations and set the default icons to semi-transparent grey. I like translucent konsole windows and menus.

KDark - download The wallpaper came from someone else's theme - I can't remember whose (let me know). I just tweaked things to my liking. I use this as my late night theme for those long, eye-straining coding sessions.

Simply copy the .tar.gz file to your icewm theme directory ( usually ~/.icewm/themes/ ) and do

  tar -xvf <filename>

Then restart ICE and the theme will appear in the themes menu.

Hadez Laptop - download I didn't like the default ICE themes so created this one from scratch. The background came from some open-source theme pack or other. The nicest feature of this theme are my nice bitmapped window titlebars.

You will need a program that can uncompress .zip files - get winzip from www.winzip.com.
See the installation instructions in the README files contained in the .zip file.

Southpark - download New Icons, cursors and loads of sound effects. Also contains my cool Southpark Win98 startup and shutdown screens. The background is a bit lame but you can find loads of Southpark backgrounds on the web.
