Theme Manager

Theme Manager is a small application for changing the look of the frame controls (i.e. the buttons used to close, maximize or minimize the windows) and of all radio buttons and check boxes displayed on your system.
The application will get the details about the available themes from the THEMEMGR.IDX file, a text file which can be easily modified to add new themes.
To make the application use a different file, or a file not situated in the working directory, you must supply the full path name of the location of a valid THEMEMGR.IDX as a program argument to THEMEMGR.EXE.
The current theme name will be stored in OS2.INI -> ThemeManager -> CurrentTheme.
