- Note, this prettifying guide will work with ANY Debian-based XFCE install.
- We're going to use the Numix theme and the Elementary icon theme.
- First, lets add some PPAs to our sources list:
- sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- start a new line at the end of this file, and add:
- deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/numix/ppa/ubuntu/ utopic main
- now run
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install numix-gtk-theme
- Now lets create an icon folder, download the icons, and extract them properly.
- mkdir ~/.icons && cd ~/.icons
- wget http://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce/archive/master.zip
- unzip master.zip
- mv elementary-xfce-master/* ~/.icons
- rm master.zip
- rm elementary-xfce-master -R
- Now go to the Application Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager.
- Click on "appearance".
- Under the "Style" tab, select "Numix" from the list.
- Under the "Icons" tab, select "elementary Xfce"
- Under the "Fonts" tab, select "Liberation Sans 10"
- Click "All Settings" at the bottom right to bring you back to the main settings menu.
- Click "Window Manager" and select "Numix" from the list of themes .
- Under "Title font" select "Liberation Sans 8" and then "All Settings" to go back.
- Click "Notifications" an under Theme, select "Numix"
- Restarting XFCE will fix any anomalies that may appear due to theme-switching
- sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
- 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.
