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`.
