MX Fluxbox Screenshots

[ceeslans]

Perhaps this will be my final desktop for this summer.




I really like the Matcha dark themes and I think it is a pity, there are no official repositiories for the themes, as it was in MX21.

I've also finally fixed the problem of translucent borders of Thunar, Firefox and terminal apps, that appears after lauching compton.
I've just added a line:

Code: Select all

window.borderWidth: 0

to the overlay file.

As always, an impressive and beautifully balanced desktop.
As to the translucent borders for terminal and firefox, I wonder what's causing this in fluxbox; it doesn't happen in other window managers, eg openbox.
And yes, eliminating the window borders is a clever workaround, but they look kinda naked without it --> and I really need a 2-3px border, for picom to display rounded corners in an acceptable way.

For some styles and themes this solution could work:

Code: Select all

window.borderWidth: 0
window.bevelWidth: 1

or

Code: Select all

window.borderWidth: 0
window.bevelWidth: 2

etc.
It doesn't work for that particular themes and styles I've just shown on my screenshot, but for some light themes I've tested it replaces the hidden borders successfully.

@kobaian thanks for feedback.
To get rid of those translucent borders on my system, I need to set window.borderWidth: 0.
But after changing shadow-radius/opacity/offset values in picom.conf, the compositor now creates a quasi-borderlike shadow around the windows.
Also, by increasing the window.bevelWidth value, the 'close' button is still in harmony with the rounded corner.
Will play a bit with these settings, trying them out on a number of suitable styles, but I think this will do nicely.



ps: if you want to add some padding to terminal output (so it won't show up at pixel 1.1 of the terminal window), you can add this in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

Code: Select all

VteTerminal,
TerminalScreen,
vte-terminal {
    padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
    -VteTerminal-inner-border: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
}

Change the padding/border values to your own preferences

Thank you! It works well to me.

More investigations from me about the window borders:
If the window bevel looks bad with the current fluxbox-style,
e.g. like that:



you need to add also these two parameters:

Code: Select all

window.title.focus.color: <desired color-value>
window.title.unfocus.color: <desired color-value>

I like your tint2 panel configuration. Can you share the scripts you use for memory and temperature executors, please?

Yeah, already at that... I don't maintain many styles anymore, only using neutral styles - none of which use window pixmaps (only fluxbox generic buttons).

Sure! attached an archive with battery & cpu & memory executors. The ones that have a -txt extension, all use the iconfont.

Thank you very much! Really nice executors!
Here's my current "meter-bar" after some modifications, with my rofi-weather-widget:

First fiddlings with mxfb 23.
I am really liking the Materia gtk theme at the moment, so took that as inspiration for a flat look.
