One of these years if I can get an updated computer, I'm going to try out Blender. it looks really fun.

Wanted to make a light theme. First did one that just barely changed the stark whites, and added a blue tinge, but didn't really like it.

This one is better I think. I wanted to get rid of all the inverse (white) printing I could in the gtk theme itself. All of the light themes just seem so stark.

So, in the image is Thunar at top, which reads from the gtk-3.0, and Pcmanfm below that, which reads from the gtk-2.0 (these can be fun to match up:)

And wanted a useable Geany theme to match. I made the main window for Geany just a tad lighter, and the colors need a little work still. Personally think I got lucky with my dark geany theme:) These are not so easy to theme it seems.

Also made the Openbox theme to match. Made a dark one with gradients in the menu and titlebar, but like the flat better for Openbox!

Pfft! Figures:) I'll have to grab the image and take another look.

I don't think this looks like the old #! theme at all.
I like it, like a modernised version of very old gray ui themes. I generally like light, but not too light themes.

How are you making all this? Manually in a text editor?

Yep:)

When I started. I didn't even know there was a difference between what themes read which gtk file. I kept trying to make changes that wouldn't work. (My base install had no gtk3.0 theming). I finally got frustrated enough to see how Bunsenlabs handles the theming for Thunar and found "Beam". Saw it was based from Greybird and started tinkering.

I've since figured out quite a bit through keeping notes and such. If making changes directly to the theme, the options are endless. For instance, there are gradient options for damn near everything, and they are not being used.

So, I made up my own recipe. Still a work in progress, but gives a good idea of where most things are based on common terms like THUNAR MAIN WINDOW instead of whatever the tech name of the window is.

Using this as a guide, and Greybird as the template, you can change many many specific options if your theme is Greybird based, or just make your own theme.

I'm sure there are still items to be adjusted,(though none yet) but it works for me. If I find a program that has theming issues, I just go fix it:)

I've since learned more about all of this, but my method is working well, and gives total control.

Here is the recipe I made up.

####### This is based off of the current Greybird theme, and could change in the future.
#### These are my notes, and as such, could be off here and there.  Ya never know.
### This is a reference for my notes but you can certainly make a nice theme following these items in order.
## A lot of items here are specific.  Need to change a single highlight color? Scroll bar Color?
# Some items may be redundant (listed as separate item later in the file) 
# Most items have a number after the item indicating how many there are to change. (61)
# References to JWM are important, as JWM handles things slightly different, 
# and you will have issues without adjusting these items as such.
# This only leaves a billion options not yet changed, so not everything may be groovy yet.
# Make your changes in Geany using the replace function. Test every change!

######## This is a very cool inspector.
## To get gtk inspector
# Install: 
libgtk-3-dev
###THEN
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.Debug enable-inspector-keybinding true
Then: 
- control shift+d on object
or open directly with:
GTK_DEBUG=interactive <application>


### HERE ARE THE HINTS.
### USE GEANY'S REPLACE FUNCTION TO CHANGE ALL COLORS IN A GROUP TO WHATEVER YOU WISH.


### text widgets and the like base background color */   MAIN THUNAR WINDOW AND MOUSEPAD BACKGROUND

Please remember that these are my notes, and may not be 100% accurate.

For those that want to make their own theme, to keep things simple, I would grab my Gray theme to adjust, or the Dark theme, as the basics are already set. (You can change literally everything if you want.) Don't forget to adjust the gtk2.0 to match when done making changes!

Thanks a lot for sharing

Out of many review or WM-hop you've made those two remain permanent, meaning to me they're relevant & practical.

I am practicing with unorthodox CWM

mononoki on conky panel+console
Sarasa-Gothic for CJK on user profile or to that simple right click menu that provide CWM.

Hey! I'm back from the Land of the Lost to give the dev team two thumbs up on Lithium. This is still the best DE out there, hands down. Pictured below is a productive desktop. I'm building a web app using Django, Nginx, and uwsgi on an absolutely ancient dual-core machine with 2 Gb of ram. I just love how this interface gets out of my way and lets me get some work done. This is actually an old helium install that I did a full upgrade on. I am still using Openbox, the old tint2 config, and the old menu.xml, because change is hard and I needed this desktop productive asap. I did play around with the default desktop some, but given that this is a mature install, I needed some .desktop launchers and a couple of policy kits rules for QoL shortcuts that we don't typically add to a base install. I just wanted to say "Good Job!" to the dev team.

@tknomanzr, my goodness, great to hear from you! Great scrot of the default theme plus Sublime.

PM me if you'd like any BL developer privileges restored (I don't know what they are ATM).

And don't forget - you're part of the dev team if you have enough free time to jump back in.

Cool. I'll look at Github when I get the chance. I have a lot to catch up on in the Linux desktop world it seems. In the meantime, I am neck deep into converting a WordPress website into Django, which is actually going pretty well.

I hit a rough patch after the React job, which I got fired from, lol. Long story short, I excelled at the back-end and DevOps stuff but the modern Javascript was kicking my butt. I actually onboarded myself into that job in less than a month, although I stressed myself out doing so. The whole onboarding system was built in an aging ansible setup that I basically had to fix to get working again. So the things that touched Debian, the data modeling, the backend stuff, and the Devops stuff I excelled in, but the Front-end stuff, which is what I was actually hired to do was kicking my tail. The good thing about Django, is that it's the same MVC paradigm but on the back-end and in python. So data persistence is not an issue like it is for web-pages and I just like python as a language.

Anyway, for about a year after that, I would barely touch a computer. Then, a friend of mine needed a website built. So I decided to build it in WordPress. Now what I have is a lovely news/blogging site that is a bloated resource hog that half the visual design stuff doesn't work on despite the fact that I spent good money on those controls. So now I am converting it so I can get what I want from it. And of course, when I code, I code on a Linux box. Most specifically, some flavor of Bunsenlabs box. This install is literally the install from my main desktop that I did all that coding on. Actually, I think it's a dd'd image of that desktop that I then turned into a file server for the longest time. Now it's running django through uwsgi, nginx, with sqlite3 as the database for the moment, several chrome tabs open, spotify, at least one terminal, a file manager,and Sublime text editor on 2 gigs of ram and two cores, with debug mode on, and it's STILL faster than that WordPress site, lol.
