Out of my league, looks good

Thanks @Jerry3904

@siamhie Whoa! Now THAT is customization to the max!

I have only yet to begin @AVLinux
I need to figure out how to tweak either FeatherPad or Mousepad to use the purple-grey background color now.

[ceeslans]

@siamhie : tweaking Featherpad's colors is probably difficult; at least I always failed :(

But mousepad is a different story. The default styles (classic/cobalt/kate/oblivion/tango etc) are located in /usr/share/gtksourceview-4/styles folder. Check out the xml files, most likely you need to edit the color value for style name="background-pattern"
Of course it would best to not tamper with these default xml files. Instead, you could create a new style in ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/styles --> mousepad will automatically read and include this new style.
here's one style that may serve as a base xml for halloween:
dracula

Code: Select all

+1 @ceeslans

Worked like a charm. First I created the folders gtksourceview-4/styles in my ~/.local/share/ directory and copied the cobalt file over.

Then I edited it as such.

Set a name of the file so that it shows up in the preferences.

Code: Select all

<style-scheme id="volcano" _name="Volcano" version="1.0">
  <author>siamhie</author>
  <_description>grey purple color scheme</_description>

Then I edited the style name background to the hex value needed.

Code: Select all

<style name="text"                        foreground="white" background="#6E586F"/>

Saved the file as volcano.xml and now I have a background in Mousepad that matches the rest of my theme.

Was going through the various tint2 toolbars and saw there was a dock type toolbar available.
I edited it to have my most used programs listed and I like the addition of weather report at the end.


From left to right I have LibreWolf, Thunar, Mousepad, Xfce Terminal, GIMP, XMMS, nitrogen, MXPI and VirtualBox.

[Jerry3904]

Glad to see that being used! I created that for MX-23 (I think) to provide another option in the MXFB dock world

Thanks for that. Running those two tint toolbars is only 49MB of RAM usage. Not bad.

Yo siamhie
you like windowmaker. wmbutton is less than one MiB for twenty-seven Launchers. program nine buttons alike turns it into one big button (of three launchers. )
top row, bottom row. six launchers.
corners. twelve launchers.
use 27?

Tried that in the past and didn't like the look of it with fluxbox. It is better suited for Window Maker.

As far as i know, a number of us mxfb users were running such tint2 dock panels already on MX19....

[wdscharff]

Years ago I had shown screenshots on FB with 4 Tint2 instances, i.e. as normal toolbar on top, fake Plank Dock below and desktop fake.icons 2 rows side by side on the left side. Simulating classic icons on the desktop is easier and more resource-saving with Tint2 than with Idesk (imho)
