Thank you for sharing personal choices with five mouse OnDesktop maneuvers.
Double up.
Go for more desktop clicking with mouse OnSlit five choices; a hiding slit offers mouse actions to double the number of Actions.

alternate approach?=one idesk icon that covers the screen, or mostly, be particular as you like setting the icon image boundaries. any size. using any image. Julia's co-workers and

Thank you for your info, about the last case, I did consider the use of idesk and I remember to use big icons on desktop years ago with the free operating system. It didn't work. In fact, with clean desktop on MX-21FB, I did the opposite, you can see MX-21 on my desktop, that's my integrated idesk to repository using 1x1 transparent pixel as icon, what you see is only idesk text.

Do you know if there is a way to click over a conky, expecifically a picture element, in order to open a program like for example the terminal ?

I'm thinking to use left top corner to place Julia co-worker area, but I'll try also top right corner, depending on comfort.

Thank you.

I didn't have too much trouble. This time around I started with the Grass GTK theme (https://www.pling.com/p/1726175/),
used the plain_green style (http://tenr.de/styles/?i=10) from tenre.de web site and found this cool looking background image (https://www.pexels.com/photo/green-gras ... s-1287089/).
Then I used gpick to fine tune the colors for the conky's and tint2.

Sounds easy, but is not.

Do you have a .themes folder in your home folder?

Themes I download go into my .themes folder.
Fluxbox styles I download go into the .fluxbox/styles folder.
Icons I download go into the .icons folder.
Cursors I download go into the .icons folder.


All can be changed with MX Tweak (Appearance>Theme).

Oh, thank you. That's make more sense on how you are able to change theme design every week.

@Amiga-MX Oops!...I Did It Again - Britney Spears


I changed my wallpaper to this black and white image I have of the Neuschwanstein Castle located in foothills of the Alps in the very south of Germany.

So naturally I had to create a nice black and white theme to compliment it.
Started with customizing the tron_yellow style and renamed it tron_white.
Customized the colors of the conky's and tint2 to match.
Found (yet another) Suru-GLOW icon set that fits in nicely called MB-Gray-Suru-GLOW. (I also grabbed the MB-Black-Suru-GLOW set which also works with this new theme)
Changed my XMMS skin to Titanium and created a new fastfetch .jsonc file with just enough info needed.



I have to say, this is my favorite theme I've created so far...

This is what the other Suru-GLOW icon set I found looks like.


MB-Black-Suru-GLOW

Thanks @AVLinux . I do like using images that aren't super busy.
The simpler they are, the easier it is to come up with a theme.


This is my next image for theming. It will be dominated with green/white colors and something like a blueish/grey highlight thrown in.

All I want get for Christmas is... green?
