Calum,

Thank you for clarifying with the good howto procedure above. I got it 
to work, and saved these themes with the new names Simple_Bright and 
Simple_Esco, of course. At the same time using a solid background color, 
turning off menu icons and splash screen, became better on the good old 
SS1 as XDMCP client (diskless X terminal/station).

Fonts:
To "extend this theme" to also include remote font rendering, the 
SJDS/Gnome fonts looks some grainy and unclear displayed on the SS1 
running the Xsun server and Solaris 7, (compared with CDE fonts).

Any suggestions how to get the font from a SJDS/Gnome session host 
optimized on a SS1 X terminal?  E.g add SJDS as font server? Would this 
 command entered on SS1 work?:
/usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -nobanner -query -fp tcp:/SJDShost:7100 SJDShost

Possibly (howto) intall/access Gnome fonts on the Solaris OS server 
instead, possibly change font type on SJDS?

More configuration background can be found in my post to another list:
