[01:07] <RoadRunner> need help theming xubuntu
[01:08] <bazhang> RoadRunner, theming what precisely; window borders, greeters or what
[01:08] <bazhang> !themes
[01:09] <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
[01:12] <RoadRunner> Ie: I want the clock, indicator plugin and notification area on the far right of the pannel
[01:16] <RoadRunner> bazhang: ubottu: are you guys clear about what I mean?
[01:23] <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
[01:34] <RoadRunner> anybody?
[01:57] <Network2501> there were two places for themes iirc
[01:57] <Network2501> one was a theme theme and one was a window theme
[01:58] <Network2501> i had issues getting the B5 theme working how i expected
[01:59] <RoadRunner> Network2501: are you talking about theming your irc client? I am talking about theming xubuntu os look itself
[02:00] <RoadRunner> essentially, I want a high contrast white on black look
[02:01] <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)
[02:02] <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...
[02:03] <RoadRunner> sorry, I am not following, where is "window section iirc"?
[02:05] <Network2501> lemme rdp into my box
[02:08] <Network2501> hmmm i might have killed something...
[02:09] <Network2501> oh yeah i edited the vncserver config
[02:11] <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]
[02:12] <Network2501> and also... appearance
[02:12] <Network2501> xfce-b5 <3
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <Network2501> gtk2.0 or gtk3.0 maybe...
[02:14] <Network2501> yeah gtk2 and gtk3 were the things but i thought both were usable regardless...
[02:15] <Network2501> have you tried logging out and back in or powercycle to see if the theme is detected afterwards?
[02:16] <RoadRunner> powercycling didn't help
[02:17] <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?
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <Network2501> https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes
[02:19] <RoadRunner> so you can't get/see them through ubuntu software center?
[02:20] <Network2501> the themes or those packages? I'm sure you can view those packages if you looked for xfce
[02:21] <RoadRunner> ok, I'll read about it there, thanks
[02:22] <RoadRunner> can offer a suggestion on my first problem?
[02:22] <RoadRunner> *can you
[02:22] <Network2501> make a new one or shuffle
[02:23] <Network2501> i haven't really changed much in xubuntu
[02:24] <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
[02:27] <Network2501> mmm dunno sorry
[02:31] <RoadRunner> btw, if you install something with apt-get, how can you check in what parts of the file system stuff got installed?
[02:32] <Network2501> do you mean where it was installed?
[02:32] <RoadRunner> yes
[02:36] <Network2501> i generally just grep and find stuff
[02:36] <Network2501> i think /etc/ and /usr/ are pretty common install locations
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <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
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <RoadRunner> in the packages you've seen, do you recall a nice white on black theme or two?
[02:52] <RoadRunner> anyhow, thank's for your help
[03:02] <Network2501> there was actually
[07:48] <winsoff> Does xubuntu 32bit install EFI by default, or is it running legacy/BIOS boot?
[07:48] <winsoff> boot logic*
