MX Fluxbox Screenshots

[Melber]

Haha!
How do you MX-FB guys get anything done? Either the Desktop is so beautiful you don't want to cover it up with applications or you're too busy tweaking the DE configs to get any work done!

All work and no play makes fluxbox a dull WM.

I use ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

Code: Select all

.thunar menuitem:hover {background: #6d7578;}
/*would like to reduce the line spacing of my context menu*/
.thunar menuitem { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; }
menuitem { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; }
menuitem:hover {background: #6d7578;}
/* sidebar */
.thunar .sidebar .view { background-color: #66ccff; }
.thunar .sidebar .view:hover { background-color: #B5BABC; }
.thunar .sidebar .view:selected { background-color: #0F56D9; }
/* main view */
.thunar .standard-view .view { background-color:  #adad85; }
/* status bar */
.thunar grid paned grid  { background-color: #a1a8aa;}
/* toolbar */
.thunar toolbar, .thunar toolbar entry  { background-color: #a1a8aa; }

@kobaian @Melber Which file is being edited?

I use ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
File needs to be created.
Works like the fluxbox overlay file in that it overrides theme settings.
Entries can be commented out with a forward slash.

Or are you editing the theme directly @kobaian ?
(and if anyone knows how to change the menu radio and check buttons in thunar, please share. Just editing the colours in the svg files doesn't work.)

Thanks @Melber

After some searching I found out the code I needed to change the main window is

Code: Select all

.thunar .standard-view .view { background-color: red; }

resulting in this effect. Now thunar matches my conky and tint2 and gives the files and folders the effect of sitting in water.

.thunar toolbar, .thunar toolbar entry  { background-color: #a1a8aa; }

Thanks @tequila. I'll use this as a reference to tweak thunar further.

@Melber I've gotten as far as blacking everything out so far. Still more to learn.

I found something, is that what you mean?

Code: Select all

menuitem:hover {background: #6d7578;}
.thunar menuitem { background-color:  #ff66ff; }
menuitem { background-color:  #ff66ff; }

Or are you editing the theme directly @kobaian ?

I've made a copy of the theme in ~/.themes directory, then I've created a file: thunar.css in gtk-3.0 subdirectory in the theme folder where I've written the code, then I've added to gtk.css the following line:

Code: Select all

@import url("thunar.css");

Of course the way you presented above is much simpler, but I use ~/.config/gtk-3.0 only to make changes for all my present and future themes. The changes that rely on the color-scheme of the particular theme I want to have in the theme-directory.

Configuring MX23 on my old Macbook.

Here's the rofi power-menu with my new MX-Fluxbox-on-Mac logo:

Very cool. I especially like the logo and the "see you later" exit message.

[AVLinux]

Haha! Great logo! I've never had a Mac but that look takes me back to that KDE theme from years ago that emulated that brushed metal Mac look with the progress and scroll bars that looked like Blue toothpaste..

It's a funny thing that back when computers were so limited for CPU (and GPU) power the GUI's were so rich and image heavy with depth, now we all have blazing fast CPU/GPU/memory and the UX world is flat as a pancake..
