Fluxbox Styles

[VastOne]

ElderVLaCoste is an old friend from the Buntu days and onto #!... He has always been a FluxBox user and tried to get me to try it many times in the past... I should have listened !

He created an incredible theme posted here on devaint art

This will be the default theme for FluxBox on the next ISO build...

In the meantime, it is attached... Simply download it and extrat it to ~/.fluxbox/styles directory, then Restart Fluxbox from Right Click menu on the dekstop..  It will then be a choice as fb_black in Right Click Menu / Styles

My gratitude to ElderVLaCoste!

I created a variation on the fb_black theme... I really like the menu but I did not care so much for the Window frames..  This variation changes the frame around windows

The file is attached, extract it to ~/.fluxbox/styles and then select it from the Right Click menu / Styles

[PackRat]

For creating fluxbox themes, I like to go to box-look.org and get the Tin Black and Earl themes. They are nice looking in their own right, and make a good base to start tinkering with.

[VastOne]

Welcome PackRat!, Thanks for the heads up...

I am on my way there now

[lwfitz]

Aparently I wasnt paying attention when I posted this and posted it in the artwork thread.....    Anyway Im moving it here


Heres a pretty simple fluxbox theme I created called Blue Research







Just download the attched Blue_Research.tar.gz and extract it to ~/.fluxbox/styles and then change your theme/style to Blue Research

[PackRat]

Took Vastone's VSIDO most recent theme and tweaked the color scheme a bit. Main change was to make the active window and iconbar a dark green gradient instead of dark blue:

[VastOne]

Thanks Rat man!

I appreciate it!

[lwfitz]

Heres a new one I did and is the current style that Im using. The original brushed image was done by jst_joe and then I did a little editing......


Extract the brushed folder to ~/.fluxbox/styles and extract "overlay" to ~/.fluxbox

You can get the files here


And finally here is what it looks like with tint2 and also with the Fluxbox toolbar

[VastOne]

^ I meant to ask you for this one.... very very nicely done!

[VastOne]

^ Although I do prefer this overlay

overlay

! The following line will prevent styles from setting the background.
background: unset

menu.title.font: liberation sans-16
toolbar.clock.font: liberation sans-15
toolbar.workspace.font: liberation sans-15

Thanks 

Im gonna try your overlay and Ill let you know what I think


Edit:

Oh thats the stock overlay right? I do like that one a lot also but Im a sucker for that Georgia font

[falldown]

Maybe I should give FB a run in the near future.. see what all the hype is about.
