Panel Color

Post by Funnix »

Hi

I would like to change the color of the panel as it is already possible under WindowS :)
For instance the panel default color is white for Word.


I can change it to grey.

How can I do it ?

thanks a lot 8)

Are you using Cinnamon or KDE? You are posting on the KDE section here.

Before to answer you a bad answer, as you noticed it. I hesitate, I'm not sure.
Initially I recognise KDE but then, I think I'm under cinnamon.

How can I be sure ?

(does a terminal command exist ?)


thanks for help

Seems to be a cinnamon ?

In that case can you reposition my question in the appropriate Forum dedicated to Cinnamon, or should I do it by myself ?

Under WindoXXXbe :) I can modify the default white color for the file manager in a grey or what so ever.

Someone tells me it has nothing to do with Qt, but hasn't got the answer in fact. :evil:

And you ? Any idea ?

You mean to apply dark color to the entire windows, like this? http://i.imgur.com/rXrP3.png
This is possible very easily in KDE. You can just switch the color scheme for all applications.

In Cinnamon however, you would need to download and install a new combined GTK2/GTK3 theme that is only using dark colors.

If you really need flexible coloring support for all interface elements you might want to try out Mint KDE edition instead. If you know how to use virtualbox or if you have a spare USB drive, you could try the live image of Mint KDE and see if you like it. Under KDE this is easily configured via System Settings > Application Appearance > Colors.

No, the already installed themes, by default are not relevant.

To do it quickly, can you confirm me the name of the theme to be apllied to, (your screenshot seems to be cool indeed) ?

It is "oxygen" (default KDE theme). To change the colors and theme to make it dark like in the screenshot you need KDE.

Hi

Doesn't exist neither...

I updates the theme though the Network to be sure to have the up to date themes.

I see 'OSX like' theme 'osirion theme' but not Oxygen.

You = Cinnamon. Oxygen = KDE.
You won't find it on Cinnamon.

Again, I'm sorry to re re re answer..

I've just tested ALL the GTK2/GTK3 themes and none of them provide me grey background panel for the file Manager....
