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.
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
to create your own theme. I did this in order to customize the tab, menu and bookmark text color. It works well and doesn't require modification of css or any other files.
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...)
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.
Hi, what I meant to say is the DE normally dictates what the default file browser is. I know you can add or change default one but some are embedded with the OS which means you can never truly replace the 'de facto' file manager or you risk breaking the system. I think the only DE that allows complete swap is LXQt from my recent browsing.
