1This release of gEyes supports pixmap themes.  I have no artistic talent, so
2most of the themes in the distribution so far are pretty darned ugly.  However,
3making your own is not hard.  And if you make one you like, send it my way,
4and I'll probably throw it into the distro.
5Here are some guidlines for creating themes:
6
7Themes are stored in their own directories, either in $(datadir)/geyes/ or
8~/.gnome/geyes-themes/.
9
10A theme consists of three files:
11* The eye pixmap.  This is the static, non-moving part of the eye
12* The pupil pixmap.  This is the part that moves.
13* The config file. 
14
15The config file must have the following lines:
16* num-eyes = n
17Where n is the number of eyes that should be displayed.
18* wall-thickness = n
19Think of wall-thickness in relation to the default theme.  The wall is the
20black ring.  It defines how far in from the sides to come.
21* eye-pixmap = "filename"
22Note that there must be quotes.  Names the filename to use for the eye pixmap.
23* pupil-pixmap = "filename"
24Yes, the quotes have to be there.  Names the filename to use for the pupil
25pixmap.

27Take a look at the themes that come with gEyes for examples, or the
28geyes_applet(1) man page for another view of the process.
