  1. Note, this prettifying guide will work with ANY Debian-based XFCE install.
  2.  
  3. We're going to use the Numix theme and the Elementary icon theme.
  4.  
  5. First, lets add some PPAs to our sources list:
  6.  
  7. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  8.  
  9. start a new line at the end of this file, and add:
  10.  
  11. deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/numix/ppa/ubuntu/ utopic main
  12.  
  13. now run
  14.  
  15. sudo apt-get update
  16. sudo apt-get install numix-gtk-theme
  17.  
  18. Now lets create an icon folder, download the icons, and extract them properly.
  19.  
  20. mkdir ~/.icons && cd ~/.icons
  21. wget http://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce/archive/master.zip
  22. unzip master.zip
  23. mv elementary-xfce-master/* ~/.icons
  24. rm master.zip
  25. rm elementary-xfce-master -R
  26.  
  27. Now go to the Application Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager.
  28.  
  29. Click on "appearance".
  30.  
  31. Under the "Style" tab, select "Numix" from the list.
  32.  
  33. Under the "Icons" tab, select "elementary Xfce"
  34.  
  35. Under the "Fonts" tab, select "Liberation Sans 10"
  36.  
  37. Click "All Settings" at the bottom right to bring you back to the main settings menu.
  38.  
  39. Click "Window Manager" and select "Numix" from the list of themes .
  40.  
  41. Under "Title font" select "Liberation Sans 8" and then "All Settings" to go back.
  42.  
  43. Click "Notifications" an under Theme, select "Numix"
  44.  
  45. Restarting XFCE will fix any anomalies that may appear due to theme-switching
  46.  
  47. sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
  48.  
  49. Under "Window Manager Tweaks", you might want to enable Compositing if you like fancy window shadows, but this'll eat into performance and battery life.
