Wow, it looks great with that wallpaper! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I'm setting up my dual boot MXFB/AVL-MXE today so I didn't install the avl wallpapers because I'm re-partitioning the whole drive including a new home partition.

Just so you know the default 'Diehard' theme on AVL-MXE comes with a fair number of those wallpapers installed. This recent work with the light and Vintage themes came after it was released. You may want to install these new 'MXDE' themes and then uninstall the AVL-MXE default Diehard Dark theme.

Good evening.

Right now I have just installed MXDE Theme packages with no problem via .deb, just need to be patient with the installer.

@AVLinux I see that you have updated the post with some instructions also with the md5 validation which is a good idea. Thank you.

Good to know. I'll be able to grab the themes from AVL and add them to Fluxbox so that I have a consistent themed desktop. The only difference between the two will be the toolbar as I prefer the built-in one that comes with Flux over tint2.

Thanks for these, @AVLinux !

Will check out the conkies and themes when I have the time.

Nice Conky!

For those who do not have pamixer installed on their system, you can display the current volume level by editing the $exec variable in line #62 :

Thanks for the tip ceeslans!

As you will note there are many of your suggestions in that Conky already, I merely stand on the shoulders of giants...

Thank you! I'm sure your trained eye will spot some flaws that can be improved, making themes that look good and are functional across gtk2/3 and QT applications is a tricky business as you know and you did amazing work on 'Comfort'. I didn't do exhaustive gtk.css tweaks on these. I went for the obvious stuff first and am kind of hoping other people will use them and maybe give me a clue where to look for the next round of css tweaks.. If you spot something please let me know!
