Personalize Your Qingy Theme Hack #21
Personalize your Qingy frame-buffer login screens by choosing the theme
that suits you best. In fact, if you run Qingy on more than one terminal, you
can have a different theme for each terminal.
Many themes are available for Qingy. See Figure 3-2 for a look at the default
Qingy login screen.
At the risk of sounding superstitious, some of us are not comfortable with a
start screen featuring a bug. Fortunately, you can download a pack of alter-
nate themes from http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/qingy/qingy_0.3_
themepack_1.0.tar.bz2, and extract it with the following commands:
# cp qingy_0.3_themepack_1.0.tar.bz2 /usr/local/share/qingy/themes
# tar jxvf qingy_0.3_themepack_1.0.tar.bz2
The j in the tar argument
