Can I use Win themes (like the ones at http://www.topthemes.com ) on a eCS 1.1 computer? Is there an eCS program that sees and uses Win Themes?

The short answer: no.

The long answer: The themes are supplied as zip files. These can be unzipped and manually applied to OS/2. But, the icon files may have to be converted to OS/2 format. And, you to work out how to map the Windows things to equivalent OS/2 things. eg. For the sounds, what does the Windows "AppGPFault" map to in OS/2?

A longer answer: Sometime ago, I was bored and started writing a Rexx script to do this. Looking at the code, I can see that it will do sounds, the desktop background and probably cursors. They were the easy bits. I can see I had started on colours, as I was trying to work something out with colour schemes. At this point it isn't very useful, but, I've been thinking about it lately, so may revisit it soon.

The above file is at OS/2 BBS (requires membership to download). Can it be used with eCS 1.1?

" Use Win95 Themes in OS/2." Is the description.
