<P>Icewm knows several locations to look for configuration
information, themes and customization; put together these
locations are called the resource path.
The resource path contains the following
directories:</P>
<P>
<DL>
<DT><B>$HOME/.icewm</B><DD><P>user's personal customization. This location can
be customized by setting the $ICEWM_PRIVCFG environment variable.</P>
<DT><B>/etc/X11/icewm</B><DD><P>system-wide customized defaults</P>
<DT><B>/usr/share/icewm OR /usr/local/share/icewm</B><DD><P>compiled-in default directory
with default files</P>
</DL>
</P>
<P>The directories are searched in the above order, so any file located
in the system/install directory can be overridden by the user by creating
the same directory hierarchy under <CODE>$HOME/.icewm</CODE>.</P>
<P>To customize icewm yourself, you should create the $HOME/.icewm directory and copy
the files that you wish to modify (preferences, winoptions),from /etc/X11/icewm,
/usr/share/icewm or /usr/local/share/icewm and then modify as you like.</P>
<P>To customize the default themes, you should create the $HOME/.icewm/themes directory
and copy all the theme files there and then modify as necessary.</P>
