+Gilouche xfwm4 Theme
+====================
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The Gilouche xfwm4 theme is a port of the identically named Metacity theme to
+xfwm4.
+
+Build Instructions
+------------------
+
+Distributions of released versions already include pregenerated images.
+
+The following tools are required to (re)generate the PNG and XPM images from
+their sources:
+
+- GNU make >= 3.81
+- GNU or BSD install
+- Imagemagick or GraphicsMagick
+
+Before generating the images check the commented macros in the Makefile for any
+macros you may need to override depending on the used toolchain and operating
+system.
+
+By default, all files will be installed under the "/usr/local" directory, a
+different installation path prefix can be set via the `prefix` macro.  In
+addition, a second path prefix can be specified via the `DESTDIR` macro which
+will be prepended to any path, incuding the `prefix` macro path prefix.  In
+contrast to `prefix`, the path specified via the `DESTDIR` macro will only be
+prepended to paths during installation and not be used for constructing
+internal paths.
+
+The following instructions assume that `make` is GNU make, on some platforms
+it may be installed under a different name or a non-default path.  In order to
+start the build process run `make all`.  After a successful build, run `make
+install` to install the theme files.
+
+Previously generated images can be removed by running `make clean`.
