As the topic of customising the look of the RISC OS desktop has been a popular subject recently, this month a couple of the people who have been particularly active in helping to create themes will be demonstrating their work.

Paolo will talk about his ExtTheme application which aims to make it easy to install and switch between themes. It integrates with, but greatly expands on, the built in theme support while also supporting the theme formats used by earlier systems. He will also show off the themes he has created, including dark mode.

Martin has created what is probably the most complete new theme called Frosted. This includes new desktop wallpaper, window furniture, standard icons, and also new matching icons for many common applications. As if that wasn't enought, he has also created a dark mode version call Obsidian.

Join us to see the themeing possibilities, and maybe be inspired to create and share your own.

The usual arrangements

Meetings are free and everyone is welcome, no booking required, just turn up at the pub. Zoom attendees contact us for the link. (If you have attended any of our previous Zoom meetings, it is the same link)

The Duke of Sussex is easily accessible by public transport from in and around London and the south east, and serves a wide range of food and drinks. All meetings benefit from a large screen display, so everyone should have a great view.

To be informed about future meetings, please join the mailing list. Everyone on the mailing list will be kept informed of these and other ROUGOL initiatives.
