Guide to Tweaking XFCE Themes [Solved]

[CharlesV]

Hi all, a couple of people have asked how to increase "grab handles" in some of the themes, and this is the guide I have created to help with that. I certainly dont know all the tricks of it, but this guide is what I have learned and use to modify themes. I dont believe it is hard to do, but it IS tedious, and does require some patience.

Since this is 9 pages long! I decided to create a PDF and post it.

Hope it helps.

Perhaps it's not hard for some people but it's hard for the average person like myself. I find it easier to just find a theme that has thicker boarders. Thank you for posting this valuable information.

Thanks for the "Guide_to_Tweaking_XFCE_Themes", but it may be a bit much and unnecessary for me now but some frequently used apps may require tinkering.
I've downloaded if I need it.
Thanks again.

Your very welcome. And you might try seeing if there is a "thick border" version of a theme you like, that is a quick fix too :-)

That is great info especially for tweakers and people wanting to understand customizing better, I know how much time and organization it takes to prepare this type of thing so thanks for your time and effort!

Plus 1 from me - this seems good info and no doubt will be of use to some people especially those who like to tinker a little with MX which is as the link provided by MXRobo that directed to Steampunk's video, already an amazing distribution. I also agree with AVLinux when he recognizes the effort that goes into providing such information that you have Charles so congratulations and thanks.
