About this theme:

The creation of this theme started with VOX (German tv station)
broadcasting Neon Genesis Evangelion. I found Ayanami Rei the most
exordinary (in both senses of the word) character of the series.
Follows a description how I made this theme (I hope that it helps you
in creating your own 'my favorite character' theme and thereby pushing
IceWM):

STAGE 1: Background image

  The first stage of creating the theme was some time of surfing the
  web to find NGE images and the like. One of the best (IMHO) images of
  Ayanami Rei first became the login screen of my Linux box.

  HINT: When you play around with xdm, please make sure that you know
        how to boot to a non-X session if it goes nuts ;-)

  The image also became the background image of my desktop.

STAGE 2: Selecting colors

  After finding a background image, the next step was to decide on
  colors for a Ayanami Rei theme. That decision is based on the colors
  used in the background image: Two colors are taken from the hair
  (dark and light violet), two from the skin and three from the eye
  (red, black and white).

  After the color decision was made I took one of the themes I have
  already created and replaced its color scheme by the new one.

STAGE 3: Creating START button

  While a penguin called pen^2 or penpen occurs as a character in NGE I
  didn't use an image of him for the START button (maybe I will also
  create a penpen theme). I found a number of icons that show Ayanami
  Rei one of which I clipped so that it fits as a START button.

STAGE 4: Miscellanous

  The original X icon (used for many X applications) didn't fit very
  well. I replaced with an eye of Ayanami Rei that nicely fits the
  color scheme.

  For the directory browser included in IceWM a folder and a file icon
  are used that don't fit very well. I included replacements for them.
