Hi methuselah,
Is that the famous alpha-patch for the xfce4-panel? If so how do you activate it after installation?

Also, do you edit gtkrc (or whatever it is called) to make the menu have different colors than the rest of the color theme?

Thanks,
Rasmus

Thanks . It's the beta version of Firefox, customized it with the userChrome.css file and a few extentions to make it minimal..

akuneko · 2009-06-18 18:02:18

similar to last month. swapped tint2 -> pypanel and put panel up top & networkmanager -> wicd

clean

dirty

GGLucas · 2009-06-18 18:41:02

Here's my latest screenshot, info is in a vim term on the screenshot itself.

Maki · 2009-06-18 18:45:16

GGLucas, that's a cool workspace

Procyon · 2009-06-18 19:01:02

@GGLucas: Are all those monitors connected to the same PC?

That is the xfce4-panel with the cairo-patch..... to activate it after compiling and installing it all you have to do is kill the xfce4-panel and then start it again.

In alt+f2 run:

killall xfce4-panel

then:

xfce4-panel &

The menus are that color because that's the way it's written in the gtkrc of my murrine-svn theme. My theme is similar to the 'murrine glow' gtk theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=88406

I do still use a .gtkrc-2.0 file for my panel to detail it some more, I make the background #FFFFFF so that the panel handles have a nice look to them and so the outline of the buttons stand out. I also write this .gtkrc-2.0 using the murrine-svn engine with rgba = TRUE so that the buttons are transparent just like the panel (it helps for that glassy look):

~/.gtkrc-2.0:

gtk_color_scheme = "fg_normal:#FFFFFF\nfg_prelight:#FFFFFF\nfg_active:#FFFFFF\nbg_normal:#FFFFFF\nbg_active:#242229\nbg_prelight:#322F38"


style "panel"
{
    xthickness = 3
    ythickness = 3
    
    fg[NORMAL]        = shade (1.00, @fg_normal)
    fg[PRELIGHT]      = shade (1.00, @fg_prelight)
    fg[ACTIVE]        = shade (1.00, @fg_active)
    bg[NORMAL]        = shade (1.00, @bg_normal)
    bg[PRELIGHT]      = shade (1.00, @bg_prelight)
    bg[ACTIVE]        = shade (1.00, @bg_active)
    
    engine "murrine" {
    roundness = 2
    contrast = 1.0   # 0.8 for less contrast, more than 1.0 for more contrast on borders
    glazestyle = 0     # 0 = flat highlight, 1 = curved highlight, 2 = concave style, 3 = top curved highlight, 4 = beryl highlight
    gradients = TRUE  # FALSE = disabled, TRUE = enabled
    gradient_shades = {1.20,1.05,1.05,0.90} 
    highlight_shade = 1.0  # set highlight amount for buttons or widgets
    lightborder_shade = 1.5   # sets lightborder amount for buttons or widgets
    reliefstyle = 0
    rgba = TRUE
    menuitemstyle = 0     # 0 = flat, 1 = glassy, 2 = striped
    }

# include rc style for the xfce4-notes-plugin

include "~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-notes-plugin.gtkrc"

# end of automatic change

For a black xfce4-panel using the cairo-patch (instead of clear 0.2), I changed the "cairo_set_source_rgba" to: (cr, 0, 0, 0) and I change the "#define ALPHA" to: 0.7

methuselah,
Thanks for the advice, the patch and everything. It is really slick!

I installed murrine; not the git version though. I am not totally certain I 'get' the program. Is it sort of a plug-in for gtk? Or is rather a replacement for vanilla-gtk? Are there any hidden cost of installing it I.e. decreased performance or increased power consumption.

BTW: Do you happen to know any way to disable or at least decrease the size of the task list's icons. My panel is too thin so some icons get cut through.

Thanks a bunch,
Rasmus

No problem, I like the git version, that's what I'm using for the RGBA in my xfce4-panel. (I forgot they switched it to murrine-git from murrine-svn)

Murrine/Murrine-git are just gtk-engines like clearlooks, pixmaps, aurora, crux, redmond, thinice, industrial..... etc. They don't replace vanilla gtk. The murrine/murrin-git gtk-engines install a new libmurrine.so library along side of all of your other libraries that are located in the /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines directory. it also adds the murrine.xml file to your /usr/share/gtk-engines directory. This just add more ways to draw widgets. You can even write themes to use multiple gtk-engines, my murrine themes usually use the clearlooks glossy and clearlooks gummy gtk-engine for tabs.... some people use pixmap for stuff.

Once you install the murrin/murrine-git gtk-engine then install some murine gtk themes to use:

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=88406

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22813
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16609

You can search through Gnome-Looks for more murrine themes.

Pank wrote:

As for performance it's not that bad, but it's also not the fastest gtk engine. I think the the xfce4-engine works much faster than murrine..... murrine is similar to clearlooks-glossy in performance but in my opinion it looks much better and has more options to use for variety. I think murrine is slightly better than the aurora gtk engine performance wise: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10496

This is a xfce4-engine theme I made recently..... it's fast, but the buttons look crappy (also a matching xfwm4 theme):

I'm not sure of a way to do that legitimately.
