mxfb2025: Appearance

[ceeslans]

@Jerry3904 @siamhie @ceeslans @anybodyelse

Do you have one or two personal faves you've made yourself/found elsewhere which you would like to propose for inclusion in the mx-collection?

So far we've got the various comfort styles and piranhaII. Depending on what is decided for the mx25 default theme, I may need to make a couple more to match...

If you all feel it would fit the upcoming mxfb25 release, I would like to share my own Minimo style and tint2 conf

Would need to update (or rather downdate) the styles file though, since I made changes to paths, omitted all window button and bullet pixmaps etcetc . And the tint2 config is filled with non-mxfb executors. Or perhaps @Melber could have a go on that? :)
Below screenshot, running on mxflux. gtk2/3 theme is gruvbox-dark. Also copied its fluxbox toolbar (captured whilst running on fluxuan/devuan) into the screenie.
Please let me know if this will do.

Looks great!

@siamhie @ceeslans
Thanks to both of you.

You will see me use these styles a lot in my theming...

My vote would be for modi or peak ocean and maybe tron green.

Yes please, downdate away.

@ceeslans That would be great to include!

@Melber Peak Ocean is such a beautiful blue.

Here's what it looks like using the default fluxbox desktop (no tint2).

Going back to @Melber's list, I propose that we remove all except his "can stay" to which I suggest including one other from his "indifferent" list. We can somewhere point to the download location for all the others from tenr if necessary. That would give us 8 total:

bota_black
bora_blue
bora_green
debian-blue
LemonSpace << I suggest adding back b/c unusual color in collection
MerleyKay
Squared_For_Debian
Squared_green

To that the others we are talking about can be added to produce a much improved style list for mxfb2025

a note on fluxbox styles:

most of the fluxbox styles are part of the fluxbox package. so to remove them, fluxbox will need to be repackaged. I presume you will want to have a separate build of fluxbox for mx25, as otherwise you could remove a theme in use already on mx23.

we already package fluxbox ourselves, so I doubt its a huge deal. Just mentioning it.

Thanks.

Another option - antiX removes some fluxbox styles at build time via delete-files.list

. Neat trick, thanks. Might be easier
