[SOLVED] How to get devuan 3's XFCE appearance into devuan 4?

recklessswing · 2022-12-26 21:11:22

I liked devuan 3's reddish colors more than this devuan 4. How could I bring those themes and icons back?

I think that's the clearlooks-phenix-cinnabar-theme package. EDIT: and cinnabar-icon-theme.

I found it but after a lot of googling. Wow. This shouldn't be this hard man.

What about icon themes and window options? Where to find those too?

The default desktop theme is installed with desktop-base but all the old themes from grub to the desktop are available in the repos. You can also get all the pieces at:

https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … t/graphics

If you need help finding where to put them just holler . . .

That git link is broken. Can't download anything from there. Btw, wasn't there a dark mode for these themes? And what about pc's that don't currently use devuan? I run debian on one of my laptops and I want this theme pls.

Here they are:

http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/ … bar-theme/

http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/ … con-theme/

So just

wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/c/{cinnabar-icon-theme/cinnabar-icon-theme_1.1_all.deb,clearlooks-phenix-cinnabar-theme/{clearlooks-phenix-cinnabar-theme_7.0.1-5_all.deb,gtk3-nooverlayscrollbar_7.0.1-5_all.deb}}
for i in *.deb ; do sudo apt install ./"$i" ; done

EDIT: shortened wget command with bracket expansion.

While on the subject, back when i first started out with linux i really liked the xfce4/xfwm - gtk 4.12 theme, can that still be found as working? I installed devuan chimaera xfce4 for a family members computer recently and would put it on that just to see if it still worked.

I just DL the clearlooks-phenix theme without having to sign into my account which means that you can too!

Nope.

Only the colors are altered in the clearlooks-phenix theme for devuan. It will work in debian based distros and someone found it in a secondary arch repo!

The AUR has an old version of the darkpurpy theme. I would update it and add the other versions but I don't generally bother with packages for themes. Just unpack them into ~/.local/share/themes/ and profit.

Anyway I left a note on the AUR package page with the new source URL a while ago so people can easily update it themselves.

Problem is that putting it in userspace breaks the theming in synaptic and gparted etc. and sometimes I even run thunar as root . . . GASP . . .

I was working on a dark theme for clear looks for a bit.

It's a tricky one to do and have everything remain perfectly readable. Dusk was very easy to keep dark.
I'm sure it's possible, but will take some time. Just like matching between gtk3 and 2. Migration to gtk4 might be a future issue.
