Had to ditch Compiz as it was interfering with simple updater in the system tray!

Guess who's back, back again :smirking_face: :fire:

Wallpapers from: Elementary OS Wallpapers: A Trail of Footprints In The Sand
For Shell Blur Effect: Blur my Shell from GNOME Extensions
For Island Style Top Bar: Open Bar From GNOME Extensions
For GTK4 and GTK3 theme: Dawnfox Theme from Rewaita on Flathub [I used Rewaita for convenience, you can use Dawnfox or any other themes from their GitHub repos. Also, Rewaita currently does not theme dialog boxes properly)
Font Style: Geist SemiBold Italic (for top-bar), Plus Jakarta Sans for entire system and JetBrains Mono ExtraBold for the terminal

I tried niri, but theming it seemed very tedious, so i nuked it entirely. If someone has a nice niri theme config that has similar theme (rounded corners all around), please let me know (cuz I'm actually interested in using niri by default)

Today I installed on Zorin 17 Lite the greybird-gtk-theme and elementary-xfce-icon-theme from the ubuntu repository

sudo apt install greybird-gtk-theme elementary-xfce-icon-theme

because I took a look at Mini OS and liked the themes there.
I didn´t know that you can install themes with ubuntu repository. It is the theme from Xubuntu. Unfortunately faded thunar file manager has white boxes around the folder names what Xubuntu doesn´t have. The taskbar icons look very inhomogeneous.

You can also install elementary icon theme

sudo apt install elementary-icon-theme

I have never installed themes this way before. Many other themes, especially icon-themes, you can find via synaptic package manager when you search for gtk-theme or icon-theme.

Wow. Flat, dark, a clean look with dangerous edges. Also like the minimal blue style touches. Plus - full text descriptors that aren't intrusive. Nice.

Sadly, Unsplash would not let me upload this wall as it is too similar to others already submitted!

Will see if I can upload to my DeviantArt account.

Anyone interested it is here:

It is difficult to find nice looking light themes for XFCE. Today I tested Jade1 gtk theme and jade icon theme in various colors on my Zorin 17 Lite VM, here in Amber, yesterday Obsidian 2 (only dark themes, but I liked them). Unfortunately a little bit too much grey and no visible window buttons in inactive windows, but an interesting theme. On Gnome desktop there were problems with the theme in Zorin menu. Arc menu worked.
