Theming Tricks, for the Inspired Artist
The goal of this page is not to tell you how to design and implement a theme from scratch. If you are entirely new to theming it is suggested that you look elsewhere. The goal of this page is to convey some of the trickier and/or less documented parts of theming.

Tricks
Suggesting a Wallpaper
In your index.theme file put a line like "BackgroundImage=/absolute/path/to/image.png" under the X-GNOME-Metatheme header. For packaged themes wallpapers should be asumed to be placed in /usr/share/wallpapers.
FIXME: Is it possible to set a specific solid color, or a gradient?
Setting the Background on Nautilus Special Places' Headers
Put something like the following in your gtkrc:
- style "extra-view-widgets" {
- # Fx. The special header in Nautilus Search and CD Creator bg[NORMAL] = "#CD6127"
