Description:

Prof-XFCE-theme

Made by paulxfce

Call me old-fashioned, but I do not like all the dark themes out there. My focus is this:

A pleasing, clear and easy-on-the-eyes theme that is meant for those who use the Gnome/XFCE-desktop professionally on a daily basis.

The focus in this theme is usability and compatibility: GTK-2 applications and GTK-3 applications look virtually the same.

This is a XFCE-Edition of Prof-Gnome-theme.

IMPORTANT:

This theme is developed for the XFCE DE. It works on XFCE 3.14 combined with GTK3.22 to GTK3.29, and GTK3.32/34.

How to install:

Download the theme,

Just copy the extracted file to a '.themes'-folder you make in your home directory.

Then use Window-Managerl and select the theme.
Use Appearance and select the theme.

10 Looks good and performance is speedy. No problems yet (Debian 10 stable with XFCE 4.14). Nice work.

Thanks, performance should be good. Because gtk3 uses minimal graphics.

Yes you kept your word. Port to xfce, excellent. Thanks

I was looking at your others themes and a lot are for gnome only. They look very professional. It will be awesome if some of those could be port to XFCE, like Arongin, Telinkrin and my preferred one, Orangini. I notice that you have a preference for grey but it will be fun to explore others colours. It is really an art to pick a pleasing matching colours set. Btw, I don't like either all those dark themes which are moving to full black. Who use that ?

The thing is: you can not achieve the same level of theming with XFCE. Nautilus is allot easier to change than Thunar. XFCE-applications are more difficult to modify in CSS than Gnome-applications.
Things are changing however, as XFCE moved to GTK3. But most distributions stick to old fashioned applications. Still using GTK2 or QT, it is horrendously difficult to unify the look.
Themingwise my focus (lately) is to mimimize the graphics: this theme's GTK3- buttons, for example, are almost entirely written in CSS. Buttons, titlebuttons, sliders switches,... are pure CSS. This is meant to increase the snappiness of the theme. Next, this theme also uses REM (instead of pixels) at key-places , so it is better at changing, when you choose to increase the scaling.

Colourful themes ? Perhaps. I do prefer an easy-to-eyes-colorpallet.

Ok Paul, your call. I understand that it is not an easy task.
I think the most popular distros which have an Xfce DE have move to GTK3. (Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu ?). I use Manjaro Xfce with Nemo (Thunar is pretty doll). I note the colourful themes that you create on pling. I am pretty bored with all those grey MAC alike themes. That's why I was asking for different colours. Not to critic the others developers by so far, there is a lot of uninspiring themes.

Thanks !
