Theming

Created mandag 19 december 2016


I'll try to put-together a list of sweet ass themes.
Manage your themes with lxappearance.


Lxappearance

# Lxappearance will allow you to set a system wide font in gtk themed application etc.
$ pacman -S lxappearance


# You can run lxappearance to get the GUI controls.


Configuration

# Changing a font value in lxappearance (and apply) will generate configurations for gtk-2 and gtk-3.
# Find them in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and change the content to your liking.



Window Themes

# Some sweet ass Window Themes


Arc

# The arc-theme is pretty sweet
# As long as you use Firefox, you should install the following arc-theme from the browser/plugins
$ yaourt -S arc-firefox-theme



Cursor Themes

# A lil' cursor bling


Vanilla DMZ

# A bit more interesting than the default - still quite neutral though
# Comes in a light and dark version (-aa = dark version)
$ pacman -S xcursor-vanilla-dmz
$ pacman -S xcursor-vanilla-dmz-aa



Grub2

# Some sweet ass Grub Themes


Archlinux Grub theme

# Not sure if I like the default better, but hey
$ yaourt -S grub2-theme-archlinux


# Edit the /etc/default/grub configuration file
# Change, and out-comment, the GRUB_THEME="" line to

GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/Archlinux/theme.txt"


# Also change the GRUB_GFXMODE=auto to (best viewed)

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768


# Then re-configure your grub
$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
