| RoadRunner | need help theming xubuntu | 01:07 |
|---|---|---|
| bazhang | RoadRunner, theming what precisely; window borders, greeters or what | 01:08 |
| bazhang | !themes | 01:08 |
| ubottu | To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager -> Appearance (tabs Style, Icons) and/or Settings Manager -> Window Manager (tab Style). Starting with Xubuntu 13.10, you can control some of your theme colors from Settings Manager -> Theme Configuration. | 01:08 |
| RoadRunner | was modifying desktop's panel, removed a separator to the left of "notification area" - clock and stuff moved to the left; after that reintroduction of a new separator doesn't fix the problem: | 01:09 |
| RoadRunner | https://imgur.com/UbHv1oR | 01:09 |
| RoadRunner | Ie: I want the clock, indicator plugin and notification area on the far right of the pannel | 01:12 |
| RoadRunner | bazhang: ubottu: are you guys clear about what I mean? | 01:16 |
| RoadRunner | 2nd problem: can't seem to add a new theme to my Appearance styles; downloaded this theme http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Divinorum?content=65705 but droping it into the style list (ziped or unziped) doesn't add it to the list | 01:23 |
| RoadRunner | anybody? | 01:34 |
| Network2501 | there were two places for themes iirc | 01:57 |
| Network2501 | one was a theme theme and one was a window theme | 01:57 |
| Network2501 | i had issues getting the B5 theme working how i expected | 01:58 |
| RoadRunner | Network2501: are you talking about theming your irc client? I am talking about theming xubuntu os look itself | 01:59 |
| RoadRunner | essentially, I want a high contrast white on black look | 02:00 |
| Network2501 | yeah i'm talking about xubuntu | 02:01 |
| Network2501 | there's different sections for theme | 02:01 |
| Network2501 | i had to go into a window section iirc and select b5 (beos like theme) | 02:01 |
| RoadRunner | but the theme I picked doesn't seem to install and I don't know where to find info on how to create a theme of my own... | 02:02 |
| RoadRunner | sorry, I am not following, where is "window section iirc"? | 02:03 |
| Network2501 | lemme rdp into my box | 02:05 |
| Network2501 | hmmm i might have killed something... | 02:08 |
| Network2501 | oh yeah i edited the vncserver config | 02:09 |
| RoadRunner | help says you can just drag and drop a new theme into Appearance styles; is that not the case? | 02:11 |
| Network2501 | settings > window manager > style [theme] | 02:11 |
| Network2501 | and also... appearance | 02:12 |
| Network2501 | xfce-b5 <3 | 02:12 |
| RoadRunner | that's where I've gone but it didn't work; so is it a problem with the theme I picked or with the process? | 02:13 |
| Network2501 | i'm not sure you see.. i downloaded a new package and it had the theme but i never added a single new theme | 02:13 |
| RoadRunner | I am running 14.04 | 02:13 |
| Network2501 | i know there was a v2 and a v3 of the themes | 02:13 |
| Network2501 | gtk2.0 or gtk3.0 maybe... | 02:14 |
| Network2501 | yeah gtk2 and gtk3 were the things but i thought both were usable regardless... | 02:14 |
| Network2501 | have you tried logging out and back in or powercycle to see if the theme is detected afterwards? | 02:15 |
| RoadRunner | powercycling didn't help | 02:16 |
| RoadRunner | ok, let's assume that my pick on xfce-look.org was unlucky, is there a theme pack that comes with/for Xubuntu and how do I donload it? | 02:17 |
| Network2501 | sudo apt-get install xfce4-goodies libxfce4ui-utils xfce4-utils xfce4 | 02:18 |
| Network2501 | that's how i got my sweet sweet b5 theme | 02:18 |
| Network2501 | https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes | 02:19 |
| RoadRunner | so you can't get/see them through ubuntu software center? | 02:19 |
| Network2501 | the themes or those packages? I'm sure you can view those packages if you looked for xfce | 02:20 |
| RoadRunner | ok, I'll read about it there, thanks | 02:21 |
| RoadRunner | can offer a suggestion on my first problem? | 02:22 |
| RoadRunner | *can you | 02:22 |
| Network2501 | make a new one or shuffle | 02:22 |
| Network2501 | i haven't really changed much in xubuntu | 02:23 |
| RoadRunner | I tried to make a new panel - I am not seeing how to do a right align there and if you look at my screen shot https://imgur.com/UbHv1oR, you'll see there are no elements to the right of the clock so there is nothing to shuffle it with | 02:24 |
| Network2501 | mmm dunno sorry | 02:27 |
| RoadRunner | btw, if you install something with apt-get, how can you check in what parts of the file system stuff got installed? | 02:31 |
| Network2501 | do you mean where it was installed? | 02:32 |
| RoadRunner | yes | 02:32 |
| Network2501 | i generally just grep and find stuff | 02:36 |
| Network2501 | i think /etc/ and /usr/ are pretty common install locations | 02:36 |
| RoadRunner | so your gut feeling is that there was just something wrong with the theme I got from xfce-look.org? | 02:40 |
| Network2501 | could be | 02:40 |
| Network2501 | assuming you followed the install steps | 02:40 |
| RoadRunner | they couldn't be easier, unzip, drag and drop | 02:41 |
| RoadRunner | actually I don't even think is said to unzip the tar first... | 02:41 |
| Network2501 | reading that link i shared it also requires a file of some such | 02:41 |
| Network2501 | so if that's not there it wouldn't be detected | 02:42 |
| Network2501 | i'd also be comparing your files with existing themes | 02:42 |
| RoadRunner | in the packages you've seen, do you recall a nice white on black theme or two? | 02:43 |
| RoadRunner | anyhow, thank's for your help | 02:52 |
| Network2501 | there was actually | 03:02 |
