Is it KDE Control Center.
If yes, KDE is window manager like icewm, and it doesn't handle icewmsettings.
You have to log in icewm (ice window manger) to see there.
Do you have login screen on start?
If yes press Alt-T, and it will show you choices of window managers. Select icewm, enter user name and password and click on login.
If not, you have to enable login first in
KDE Control Center --> System Administration --> Login Manager

Yes, KDE can use icewm themes, at least through SUSE 9.2. It's in theKDE Control Center -> Appearance & Themes -> Window Decorations (and
then in the first drop-down box) and I've used it many times. However,

it appears something is missing in his 9.3 and it's not included. I'mnot yet running 9.3 so cannot check it any further . . .

Hi Kevin,

Just guessed that he wants icewm and it's themes (he installed both),but trying to access that via KDE Control Center.
Anyway I didn't know that KDE can use icewm themes.
I know that is possible to incorporate backgrounds, sounds, screen
savers, probably mouse pointers, ie. some components that have commonformat in linux, but themes that's new for me.

He's asked the question earlier, too (maybe another ng), which is why
I
knew he was asking about applying it in KDE . . . :-)

Did you look in KDE Control Center -> Appearance & Themes -> Window
Decorations (and then in the first drop-down box)? If you scroll
through that, you will see 'IceWM' at one point. Select it and see
what
it does (mostly just window decorations, but isn't that the majority
of
what themes really are?) . . .

Then why, in 9.1 and 9.2, did icewm window decorations show up in
Control
Panel->Appearance->Window Decorations?

KDE can use icewm window decorations. The directions for installing
the
KDE Acqua theme tell you to install the theme, and then to use the
included icewm window decoration.

Just installed using YaST icewm and icewm-themes, and nothing.
By the way, Icewm doesn't appear in Menu --> Sessions.
But after installing icewm-default package, voila.

Sorry, lazy hand, fast finger.
Above is example of publicly stored draft

Anyway, icewm-default package brings IceWM in login menu.
Even after reboot, to make sure that all of /etc/sysconfig was reread.

I guess glitch during icewm package configuration.

For some IceWM themes is responsible kdeartwork3 package.
Acqua theme is pending.

Once you get Acqua going, try super karamba and the tuxbar theme.
