Fluxbox themes

From Linux Mint

In the current Mint Fluxbox you have 2 main places to edit or add themes.

To change the top of the window, the buttons, the fluxbox root menu and the 'panel' you need

usr/share/fluxbox/styles

To change the way windows and window buttons look you need

usr/share/themes

both require root access so right click on usr and "open as root"

Most people will simply find themes they like and copy them to the above folders. Most themes that work for Gnome also work for Thunar and can be copied to usr/share/themes then selected in Menu > MintConfig > Xfce4 User Interface Settings

When you are in root mode you can damage your system so back up and be careful

Editing themes example

open usr/share/fluxbox/styles and find carp

copy it and rename to myawesometheme

open theme.cfg and use 'find and replace' to make some colour change e.g. change

menu.title.color: #313131
menu.title.colorTo: #313131

to

menu.title.color: #323232
menu.title.colorTo: #454545

Then if you select the theme and don't like it you can go back to the origninal
