That is the BL port of the original #! conky (CB-Right.conkyrc), and the font is "xftfont Sans-serif:size=10"

@damo, that looks beautiful. On the blue wallpaper, perfect!
Let's add it to the default choices for Helium.

Colour in the BL defaults? Yay, RESULT!! I can die happy

johnraff · 2017-03-22 06:16:40

^Well, in the default ...choices... at least.

Personally, I find that soft blue wallpaper quite congenial, and your bl-exit fits right in.

Phillip once approvingly quoted a reviewer who described #! as being "pleasantly boring". I take that to mean easy on the eye, but not in-your-face. Something that makes it easy to get your work done. I don't know if that categorically rules out any colour anywhere...

Hmm, so I've never had the time or interest really in playing around with the graphical side of linux (I already have far too many questions just on the terminal side of things lol) But I was curious as to rather anyone has any suggestions for a very cyberpunk theme for openbox gtk? I put to Blade Runner, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, the video game Snatcher, and the William Gibson books Neuromancer etc... The themes and icons world I"m a bit ( a lot) unfamiliar with... Where do people normally find themes at? Github? Are themes, icons, etc, specific to specific Desktop managers? or window managers? Does it matter if it's gtk or not?

damo · 2017-05-05 18:29:51

^ Have a look in the Help&Resources menu - there are links to theme resources Also check out deviantart, there is lots of stuff there.

Openbox themes are specific to Openbox, obviously; gtk is used for gtk applications, which is mostly what you are likely to have. Note that many older themes will be broken for gtk3.

No way, we have our own Deviant Art??

Man I feel like I've been ignoring an entire other side of bunsenlabs
I'm not going to go too far down this rabbit hole though...Don't have enough brain cycles to learn this as well!

Thanks Damo, I'll peer around and see what I can dig up.

Admins are me (with the link in my sig ) and @ututo, of Flame Fame

Lots of Linux groups on dA, and plenty of themes and icons around as well. Not to mention some great wallpapers!

It took me a while to get this, but there are two themes at play at any one time. The openbox (or xfce4 window manager, or whatever) theme deals with the window frame, basically, ie the title bar, borders, and with openbox also the right-click menu. The GTK themes handle everything inside the window frame. So you have to choose a window manager theme and GTK theme that look nice together (often theme makers bundle them all in one tarball). Icons are something else again. You can use any icon theme together with any GTK theme.

I think. The graphics guys will hopefully correct anything there that's not quite right...

hhh · 2017-05-06 04:19:11

^ Yes, that's correct (the Openbox theme also handles the Alt-Tab app switcher). In BunsenLabs, you can also theme the notifications and tint2 to match.

@Horizon_Brave: let us know what you come up with!

Could someone please help me with an icon file:

If I'm not mistaken there is (was?)

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/tint2.svg

Or is it

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/taskbar.svg

i.e. -> no tint2.svg

Which file are we supposed to have?

Btw what is the default icon theme on #BĹ? I changed it too often and forgot it.

The default is Faenza-Bunsen (or maybe Faenza-Dark-Bunsen), which has taskbar.svg.

The Tint2 source seems to use the same icon for tint2.svg: https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/blob/master/tint2.svg

martix · 2017-06-28 21:54:08

^Indeed, it's the same icon (there is also tint2conf.svg, which has a pencil added). Somehow I had an icon path from an early version with the name "tint2.svg" (there was no taskbar.svg) but now there is (only) taskbar.svg. Thank you for the clarification.

Could someone pls. confirm - out of the box - the icon theme Faenza-Bunsen?

You can always check the github page for the current configurations:

https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … .gtkrc-2.0

https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … ttings.ini

EDIT: or look in /etc/skel in your own system.

^ Default user settings are actually stored in /usr/share/bunsen/skel, as per Debian recommendations
