Going with a Blood Red theme. Just need to figure out how to change tint2's toolbar from blue to red.

style: bloodStains
widget: DarkBlood
icons: MB-Cherry-Suru-GLOW
xmms skin: Red_Advance
conky color: #af3333

Quick and dirty method: open tint2 manager, select edit, search and replace #0f56d9 (assuming the blue is the default mx-comfort blue) with the hex code for your red colour, save as "newfilename", close and reopen tint2 manager, select "newfilename" and apply

Fun method: start tint2settings and play around with settings in the background tab (2nd from top). Then get curious and start fiddling around with the settings in all the other tabs...

@Melber Seems I went with your fun method last night.

After searching online for 10 minutes I found an arch suggestion that said to modify the rc file. Looking at the file I noticed a lot of sections at the top (Background 1, Background 2, Background 3, etc.) so I reopened tint2 settings and went into config and played around with the Background settings. I modified all 8 entries and removed all traces of blue with red. I even changed the dark grayish toolbar color to a solid black. Now I have just a red line above visible tasks with the active window having a slightly thicker border and non active windows with no border color.

Agreed.

I've replaced launcher icons with Awesome-font characters.
And here's the new weather-executor script that solves the problem of too long error messages:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

wtr=`curl -s wttr.in/?format=1 | awk '{print $1 " " $2}'`

if [[ $wtr != Unknown* ]] ; then
echo "$wtr"
else 
echo "😕 Oops!"
fi

Wow... that's a beautiful desktop.
How are you calling the awesome-font characters in the launcher's *.desktop files? or did you create icons from these characters?

Thanks!

No.
There's a package in stable-repos called "fonts-font-awesome". I've made tint2 buttons that have a font-character instead of an icon e.g.

Code: Select all

# Button 2
button = new
button_text = 
button_tooltip = Menedżer Ustawień | Motyw | Menedżer Tint2
button_lclick_command = custom-toolbox /etc/custom-toolbox/mxfb-settings.list -r
button_rclick_command = mxfb-tint2-manager
button_mclick_command = lxappearance
button_uwheel_command = 
button_dwheel_command = 
button_font = FontAwesome 18
button_font_color = #ffffff 100
button_padding = 6 0
button_background_id = 8
button_centered = 1
button_max_icon_size = 28

I've found the proper characters using the gnome font-manager:

Ahh yes, these are buttons - not the 'launchers' that are initiated as "L" in panel_items. Clever...
