The first thing I would change on my own system. I've tried to get used to vertical panels but it just doesn't work...

...for me. No accounting for taste.

But let's ship it for Boron. Lots of people will like it.

And it does look good, for sure.

^Great idea, an easy good looking visible change with a nice modern look. And easy to change for those who want something more traditional.

Oh yes. I don't use a bar for much more than looking at the clock. I reject the model of mousing across a couple of monitors to land on a 128x128 icon. I'm very mouse oriented. The idea of using GIMP by KB.... shudders... At 70, memorizing keystrokes takes backseat to feeding the humming birds.

With monitors going wider than tall it's a better use of space.
I have three 2560x1440, one landscape, two portrait.

+1 What he said. BL with a little makeup and the old girl still has game.

Right on PackRat, let's go. Something moody...

@johnraff, still yaru icons for that Boron OB setup. Nothing finalized for the OB themes yet, but they're definitely getting there. We should have at least a handfull of sweet BLOBs to offer.

Icon and GTK theme? Yaru-prussiangreen-dark?
That looks livable, yes.

But I'm not thrilled with Yaru's systray icons. See the difference:
Yaru:

Papirus:

Nothing we can do about that?

You could use the "inherits" line from the index.theme to inherit the Papirus system tray icons for the Yaru icons?

Or make some custom Papirus icons using Oomox (or whatever it is called these days)?

That sounds hopeful. Make a wrapper theme with hardly any icons in it that inherits Yaru and Papirus?
Or copy a bunch of icons (eg the folder icons) out of one or the other theme (whichever was smaller) and inherit the other one for the rest?

Or make some custom Papirus icons using Oomox (or whatever it is called these days)?

Not hard to change the Papirus folder colour to one of the variations they already ship: (adwaita,black,blue,bluegrey,breeze,brown,carmine,cyan,darkcyan,deeporange,green,grey,indigo,magenta,nordic,orange,palebrown,paleorange,pink,red,teal,violet,white,yaru,yellow,custom) The Papirus "Yaru" folders are red-highlighted but they're svg so should be editable to match the prussiangreen? Whether @hhh would like the end result...

Love it, all in, go for it!

I recoloured the red-highlighted Papirus Yaru icons to two green colours picked off the Yaru icons:

So the folder icons aren't quite as luscious as the Yaru-prussiangreen ones, but they come fairly close maybe?
And the systray icons are still Papirus of course.

svg files are text so if those greens needed adjusting (maybe lighten up a bit?) it would be very easy.

If you want to try the icon theme (inherits Papirus):

It is possible to make a change from the gtk.css of the GTK theme (not icon theme) you are using.
You need to find the part of gtk.css that refers to panel systray.

It should look something like this in gtk.css, of course you will replace with the appropriate name instead of mypanel > systray:

mypanel > systray {
-gtk-icon-style: symbolic; }

If you want to always have symbolic icons in systray, put that part in~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css.

If someone wants the opposite:

mypanel > systray {
-gtk-icon-style: regular; }

Edit

Also, you can do it like this with a precisely defined icon theme:

mypanel > systray {
-gtk-icon-style: symbolic;
-gtk-icon-theme: 'Humanity'; }

@marens thanks for the hint! I'm going to play with that...

johnraff · 2023-05-02 04:06:56

Before trying the gtk.css tweak, this is an icon Frankentheme - uses the Yaru-prussiangreen folder icons and inherits Papirus for everything else.(I copied the theme, deleted everything except the folder icons, edited index.theme and re-ran gtk-update-icon-cache.) Just for comparison with the recoloured Papirus above:

Add all changes to the bottom of gtk.css, never change the original css.
I last used Thunar with Xubuntu 18.04, but I found the part for Thunar sidebar and I tried to adapt it to your GTK theme.
I don't like the flat background color for selected items and added a background image in Thunar sidebar.
If the Thunar developers didn't change anything, it should work.

Copy/Paste to the bottom of your gtk.css.

/********* johnraff*SETTINGS **********/


  /**** Thunar ****/

  /* Thunar Sidebar - Add background image in selected/active row */
    .thunar .sidebar .view:selected, .thunar .sidebar iconview:selected, .thunar .sidebar .view:active, .thunar .sidebar iconview:active {
       background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #449d9d, #1d7674); }

Change the GTK theme and go back.
Can you see the difference?

This way you can change anything you wish in your GTK theme.

Inspired to do a "John Carpenter The Thing" type theme now.

Vectorized and blown up to 5000 by 2947 pixels, you see where I'm going with this wall...

May we switch to May now?
