mxfb2025: Appearance

[siamhie]

I'd put them in ~/.fluxbox/styles
Easy to find and to edit.

True. I have two styles folders that I use. The default styles folder (styles) and my personal styles folder (mystyles) that I access from the Appearance menu.
This way I can quickly copy over my favorites from my data drive that has all of the styles from tenr's web site extracted (477 styles to choose from).

OK

I thought we were talking about themes, and such a folder would be in $PATH,

[dolphin_oracle]

for what its work, mx-tweak checks two areas for fluxbox styles. these are classic areas and that's where I would expect any fluxbox styles to be

1. /usr/share/fluxbox/styles
2. $HOME/.fluxbox/styles

In the world of fluxbox, it's referred to as styles. They only change the menu, window and toolbar.
DE themes might also change icons, cursors and more.

What is a Style?

Styles, sometimes referred to as Themes, are a graphical overlay for the fluxbox(1) window manager.
If you wanted to get to know fluxbox, the styles would be the look of the look and feel.

Well thank you very much.

@CharlesV made a nice xfwm theme named PiranhaII a while back. viewtopic.php?t=79560&hilit=piranhaII

I made a fluxbox version

Perhaps a candidate to be included as a new home grown style.

Can you send me that, working on a new skel now--thanks.

@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.

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 ...

Yes please, downdate away.

@ceeslans This would be the moment to send me that theme for MX-25 if still possible

I don't edit the styles from tenr directly. I use overlay for that.

Oh, I thought you were suggesting new user-made styles.
