The ones we use Xfce we can have the appearance of KDE (oxygen) in a very easy way, as we can see in the following image:
To achieve this we only have to download the following files:
- For the windows (xfwm): This file. We unzip it and put it inside the folder ~ / .themes o / usr / share / themes.
- For the topic gtk: This file. I don't remember where I downloaded it from, we unzipped it and put it inside the folder~ / .themes o / usr / share / themes.
- For the icons: This link o this other. We unzip it and put it inside the folder~ / .icons o / usr / share / icons.
In Debian we can put the KDE icons and cursors by installing the following packages:
$ sudo aptitude install oxygencursors oxygen-icon-theme
Now we select the theme and icons in Menu »Settings» Appearance:
And in Menu »Settings» Window Manager:
Ready, with that we can have what it takes for our Xfce looks like KDE. I leave a screenshot of my desktop:
Very good ... I would have to give Xfce a chance.
Since Gnome 3 came out I migrated to KDE, but it's good to try other things ...
24 hours ago I had KDE, and now I use Xfce (although I have Gnome-Shell installed). Of course, don't expect to find all the things you have in KDE ..
Pleasing requests! Thanks once again… +1 for the post. Cheers!
I'm glad it has served you .. I love to please lol
Very good post, if you could expand the installation in LXDE or Gnome it would be great.
In LXDE things should not be very different. In other words, the same Gtk theme should work, you just have to look for a theme for the Window Manager (openbox). I'll see if I find anything about it.
Exactly, it shouldn't cause a major problem, in fact then the themes for openbox, they are not so bad I have, there are some very nice, and pleasant that do not envy anything to those of kde, and gnome, of course they do not have so many effects later , but they look pretty.
Exactly ... I used Openbox for a long time and I loved it ...
It would be wonderful, I thought about trying Lubuntu because I have not heard more than how well it runs on modest PCs, but it is the Openbox windows themes that stop me
I don't like imitations but this one is quite tempting
And that you wait? Above:
pacman -S xfce😀
Eat more than LXDE as I understand it
Right now with Chromium + Pidgin + Slypheed + Terminal = 202Mb / 1024Mb…
What about that?
I always considered XFCE unpleasant, now I'm testing Gnome Shell, I don't dislike it, but… it doesn't have to configure almost anything but I want to try it for a while, on the other hand, I plan to give XFCE a try, will you have any tutor to configure it? Present. How does Chromium work?
It is true that Xfce by default looks a bit ugly, but well customized it is a beauty. In addition, it has its Window Composer and we can play with transparency effects that make it truly beautiful. I'll see if I do a tutorial on how to customize it thoroughly. And Chromium, well I do better than Firefox / Iceweasel 7 and 8. Especially this latest version shoots up in consumption ... 🙁
Thanks elav, I already downloaded Debian LCDE + XFCE, test, of course, I'll wait for the tutorial.
Today I have a difficult day, but I hope I have time to do something 😀
Excellent, I liked it! Greetings 😀
Thank you very much
WHAT ABSURDOOOOO, if I have XFCE, why do I want kde ??? I install the distro with kde. It will be that there is nothing to post hahahahaha
For the same reason that many users, whether they are Xfce, Gnome or KDE, like to have a similar appearance to OS X or Windows.
Wow! interesting… I really like the XFCE, it's a shame that my team doesn't go very…. very …. agile. Thunar does strange things to me like when you drag a file from any window to the desktop, which shows you a "+" symbol like when you are going to copy and paste, but then what it does is cut and paste removing said file from its source folder .
Another thing that bothers me a bit is the time you spend sometimes waiting for it to show you the menu with the programs, simply the time it takes to show the drop-down menu when you click with the right mouse button on anything ...
In general I really like the XFCE philosophy of minimalist, functional and with design ... but I work every day and I found these "faults".
By the way I use Xubuntu 12.04 (and no, I'm not updating now that it took me so long to configure it and leave it as I like ... I guess I'll have to wait another couple of years for it to be polished a bit more). Congratulations on your great work!
At the moment I use GNOME 3.2 has not given me many problems, but before I have used XCFE 4.10 and LXDE. I'm interested in trying LXQT but it will be later.
sooooo thank you !!!
