Re: Carbon Themes (proposal)

...jgmenu looks like crap with the labbe-materal-[bark|sage] icons. I wonder if we can make variants of material-solarized-suruplusplus in bark|sage ?
...just looked and they are SVG! A simple sed operation *should* be able to convert the whole lot

That looks great! Let's use those for sure.

How about adding the bark and sage variants to the existing BL package? No need to duplicate all the debianization for each one. Or maybe the size of each theme (~39MB) justifies splitting them up for users who only need one of them?

The solarized versions inherit the labbe-material versions anyways. Should I add them as deps or at least recommends?

Re: Carbon Themes (proposal)

Just putting out what I see as our options for handling the panel on Carbon - X11 and Wayland. Not expressing a preference, just laying them out:

X11:
tint2 (Debian fix gets applied, or we build it ourselves) (provided there are no other bugs) working systray
xfce4-panel, round corners, margins, but systray issues
xfce4-panel (a new suggestion), square, 100% height, just a block that looks like part of the desktop, but still poor systray

Wayland:
xfce4-panel, round corners, margins, poor systray
sfwbar as already configured by micko01, round corners, margins, working systray
xfce4-panel (new suggestion), square, 100% height, just a block, poor systray

For Forky?
Tint2 almost certainly out of consideration unless a new developer picks it up.

X11:
xfce4-panel, hopefully with improved systray and margins by then

Wayland:
xfce4-panel
sfwbar

Recommends I think, especially if they end up packaged together with the existing solarized theme. Depends would be too restricting IMO.

Inheriting the related labbe theme would keep the colours matching so that's a plus, but even without labbe I think the non-matching icons should only appear in the auto-generated "applications" sub-menu. The hard-coded section can be arranged only to use solarized icons (it's a fairly complete set).

So labbe could even be a Suggests. We'll be shipping it in default BL Boron anyway of course.

Re: Carbon Themes (proposal)

Hi guys
I came across the Nordic themes and I made myself a nice blue/grey theme with Nordic-darker and a recoloured (and a bit modified) Material-Solarized-Saru++. I think those Saru icons look great with dark backgrounds especially on the panel:

@novice that is just gorgeous, I think your mods and icon choice are just perfect. Any chance at all you could zip that up and throw it online someplace or e-mail it? I think it would be great for one of my projects i've got on the backburner.

(sorry for off-topic post guys).

I've sent you an email.

I've sent you an email.

Thank you! Looking forward to trying it out!

Unfortunately I had a pipe burst in the basement last night, so life gets in the way of my Linux today....:(
