So I finally upgraded to Zorin OS 16.2 Pro. I really like it a lot. I like this Mac(ish) layout and this is the default dark theme in Zorin OS, its just the perfect shade i like.

I'm not much into customization but recently I've found this cool theme that I really like, and as we approach the end of the year things have been slow and a bit boring, so I took the time to spice things up a bit.
I even created a simple firefox theme for it!
What I haven't yet figured out is how to get rid of the apple-style action buttons. It also doesn't apply the theme on every program, for example GIMP or KeePassXC.
What theme is that ??? Love the top bar. I used to have that in linux mint 17 cinnamon.
Edit: see here Taskbar i used in Mint 17.x available for zorin os 16?
Sweet theme.
Nice work! I would like to get myself more comfortable editing these style sheets, but I'm still shaky about messing things up for the whole theme and then needing to revert. I'll get there one day.
Applying off-the-shelf themes is fairly easy, but I'm still not comfortable making big changes either, specially on Gnome itself.
On Firefox, what I did to make sure that I didn't mess things up, which I definitely did a few times, is create dedicated profiles. If you need to start over, just delete the profile and it's like it never happened. As I was experimenting I ended up with this:
Still not sure if I'll keep any of these but I think my customization fever went away for now so I'll keep things like that, probably until I decide to move on to another distribution
There's this program you can install ColorPicker to select the hexadecimal codes of any color on the screen. If you visit a site or something that you like how it uses colors, you can use that. I do it sometimes to create accent colors and whatnot. But definitely using a pre-made theme is so much easier (if you find the right one...)
Thanks Zenzen I reinstalled that from the apt store as I had deleted it before trying to streamline ....

Hi, I have been following this post for a few days already getting ideas so here is my desktop
A lot of what I have read here has been very helpful, this is probably not my final version but I am happy with it
I really like that background, can you share where you got it from please?
That distro is pretty new, how does it run ?
Why do all distro’s use the nautilus file manager instead of nemo
Solid , it's basically a simple way to install Debian and it can be easily converted to Debian testing or unstable. There isn't much for themes or icons , but that's easy to fix especially in KDE. It comes with the 6.0 kernel.
I thought file managers were DE dependent. If you run KDE (Plasma) it is Dolphin, xfce it is Thunar, and Gnome ... Nautilus, sadly, Cinnamon it is Nemo, and MATE it is Caja, LXQt uses pcmanfm-qt.
