Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
.
Hello!
I made a theming proposal for the upcoming Linux Mint 10 LXDE edition. It is supposed to mimic the new Linux Mint X theme
as much as possible. I mainly used work already there in Linux Mint, but had to make an Openbox theme.
Wallpaper: I think the standard wallpaper is really cool, but makes me a little bit depressed, so I took kampongboy92's wallpaper.
It's available as one of the default wallpapers.
GTK and icon themes are the ones from Linux Mint 10 Gnome -- Mint-X .
Openbox theme: Mint-X-Openbox (which I basically modified from john007's great Unified theme.) Consider my work to be GPL.
Fonts are all Ubuntu size 9, with the active window title bar text bold.
Screenshots:
Desktop with original image
Desktop with kampongboy92's image
PCManFM
Start menu
I have tried as much as I could to make Openbox's menus and OSD look like Mint X:
Mint-X GTK menus
Openbox menus
Openbox's Desktop switching OSD
I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you

Very cool man,
you should verify if Firefox is ok with GTK+ theme. In Mint LXDE 9 I've got problems :
Wallpaper is perfect, overall looking clean!

Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
@yonatan: Tnx for the feedback! I also think kampongboy did a great work with the wallpaper.
As for the theme, the old theme you are showing (Shiki-Wise) is not used in Mint 10, and I think
we should use the new one that is in Mint 10 Gnome (Mint-X). It looks more modern and much cleaner.
Also, I don't have that glitch on Firefox.

Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
Great work, canci! Really great. New menus look brilliant. In my opinion Mint-team should take some of your ideas `bout theming and menus as a part of it. Well, let`s see what guys will offer (if LXDE #10 will ever come out).
P.S. Oh - Happy new year, bro!

Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
Thanks. Happy New Year! I don't see a reason why the LXDE version shouldn't come out. Of course, all the spin offs were always a bit late, but that's to be expected, as I am sure that not many users actually work on LXDE, Fluxbox and Xfce.
Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
Last I knew, Kendall was the Maintainer for LXDE and Fluxbox. Has Merlwiz taken over those as well?
I know Kendall has done a lot with Peppermint OS and Peppermint Ice. He's probably just building it up to be the next best.
Thanks All,
Dave

I honestly wouldn't know. Just wanted to contribute with a theme...

canci.
I really preferred your theme submission for Debian Squeeze. I still find it odd that SpaceFun won out, but that theme is not that bad after a while. It grows on you.

Tnx! SpaceFun's wallpaper isn't bad with Shiki Brave and gnome brave icons, or Faenza Cupertino.rivenathos wrote:canci.

Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
I am running SpaceFun with Clearlooks and the GNOME-Brave icons. Surprisingly, all those blues look pretty darn good together.

Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
On my best days I'm sub par when it comes to theming anything. Thanks for the contribution.
Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
No problem. I'm ambivalent towards theming. Sometimes I don't care, but sometimes a certain colour just freaks me out and I have to change the theme. It's odd...Kendall wrote:On my best days I'm sub par when it comes to theming anything. Thanks for the contribution.
Re: Linux Mint 10 LXDE Theming Proposal
Yeah, I actually saw this theme there today (along with the SolusOS one). I've downloaded both and they look pretty nice (although I don't have the gtk theme b/c I'm not using true mint right now).
