Description: Xfce-Simple-Dark is a set of dark themes for: - Xfce widgets, - Xfce window decoration and - Geany.
The GTK 2.x and GTK 3.0 widget theme is based on https://github.com/vkuzel/Xfce-darkness . The GTK 3.20 widget theme is based on https://github.com/horst3180/vertex-theme . The window decoration theme is created from scratch. It exists in different sizes of the window decoration to support HiDPI environments.
Installation =========
Xfce widgets theme:
1. Copy the folder `Xfce-Simple-Dark_widgets` to your `~/.themes/` directory. 2. Open the *Appearance* application (`xfce4-appearance-settings`) and select the theme.
Xfce window decoration theme:
1. Copy the folders beginning with `Xfce-Simple-Dark_xfwm` to your `~/.themes/` directory. The different folders are for different sizes of the window decoration. 2. Open the *Window Manager* application (`xfwm4-settings`) and select the theme in the desired size.
Geany theme:
Copy the file `geany/simple-dark.conf` to `~/.config/geany/colorschemes/`.
Nice theme, 3 issues I noticed. This theme has the xfce4-indicator plugin theme issue where in the panel it creates a dark outline of the plugin. The desktop icons have a dark bubble around the text names of the icons (really noticable on light wallpaper). And third, the window buttons of opened windows in the panel are almost half the standard width when this theme is enabled. I'm using Manjaro (gtk 3.20) if that helps. Look forward to seeing other releases of this theme. Thanks.
1. xfce4-indicator plugin: I don't see this dark outline, can you send me a screenshot?
2. Desktop icon: I don't know how to change that.
3. Window button on taskbar: I like it that way. If you like to change it, look for XfceTasklist::max-button-length

Cool. Do you expect a light variant too?
No, I don't plan to create a light variant. Don't you think there are already good light themes?
:) No, I love light themes! LOL! Thanks anyway!
