Hey, I have an fvwm theme based on the Blackbox theme 'spiff' (kind of
'spiff-sim') checkiddout:

the buttons however, are based on my BeOS theme:

In the spiff-sim theme, I just use a very wide (1600 pixels) hand-made
pixmap for the title bar (to get the combination of a horizontal
gradient and the horizontal 'speedlines'.) Maybe not such a good
solution
for people with very high-res screens, though.
Writing a perl script to do automatic conversion is a bit tricky
I think. I guess, to make in look good, the script would have generate
custom pixmaps. Maybe, the perl script could parse the blackbox setup
file, (I have this working), and then call a gimp-script for making the
pixmaps. But do do this, I first have to learn how to make
gimp-scripts...
