Theme weirdness

Post by Habitual »

looks as I'd expect. Everything the same color on the "folders".

Appearance > Icons tab, using oxygen gives me

Not at all what I'd expect. The brown has to go!

Code: Select all

System:    Host: my-kungfu Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.11.6 
           Distro: Linux Mint 17 Qiana
Anybody know why and how I can remedy this?

Thanks!

I don't know the answer for xfce, but in a few months you will have Mint 17.1 with lots of colors.

If "folder" colors are the worst of my worries, I have much to celebrate.

It's all Good.

Thanks.

Nothing's changed from 17 to 17.1

Anyone?

These "may" be an issue?

Code: Select all

cat /home/jj/.gtkrc-xfce
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {

    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0

    fg[NORMAL] = "#efefef"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#efefef"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#efefef"

    XfdesktopIconView::shadow-x-offset = 1
    XfdesktopIconView::shadow-y-offset = 1
    XfdesktopIconView::shadow-color = "#3c3c3c"
    XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-x-offset = 1
    XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-y-offset = 1
    XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-color = "#3c3c3c"

}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
and

Code: Select all

cat /home/jj/.gtkrc-2.0
include ".gtkrc-xfce"
gtk-theme-name="oxygen-gtk"
Thanks!

Same here, only certain themes, which I have found are incomplete (mime types, alternate sizes, etc.)
I'm finding a few good ones, one of them I get from a ppa, has multiple colored themes, and is updated automatically, called Sasha-1594/SmoothX. PPA to be added to Software Sources is here:

Code: Select all

Those do look great,
however -->

Code: Select all

Description:	Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca
Which may explain why synaptic accepts the ppa but doesn't actually add it.

So I went commando on it...

Code: Select all

# grep sasha /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/sasha-1594/smoothx/ubuntu trusty main
# apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1081C12583850E8E
# apt-get update
# apt-get install smoothX-Xfce
But it does change my "Action Buttons" on my panel.
Oh well, if it's not one thing, it's another, right? :)

Thanks!

and now Thunderbird looks a mess.
I need a beer.

Let's hope a restart fixes it.
