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.
NEW: support for Nemo in XFCE-desktop.
IMPORTANT:
This theme is developed for the XFCE DE. It works on XFCE 4.14 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.
LOG OUT AND BACK IN for changes to take full effect !

I prefer the larger titlebar and preferably change its MAC-OS gray for another matching color for a change. The bottom bar is unnecessarily too large and a smaller one could make room for more content in the main windows (nemo)
The top rounded corners are pretty rough and the saw-tooth pattern clearly visible. I am not a fan of dark panel since it also render invisible the tray icons from my theme. As a matter of preference, I think I will stick with your previous version for now.

So these are all compromises one must take to make a usable window-frame...
The dark panel does have a problem: there are not many decent icon-themes that work on dark panels. Which is not really my fault...
I will upload a version with the old (white) panel shortly. The larger titlebar is something you can choose yourself in the window-manager.
Nemo has no been on my list, really, because it is not a standard app in the XFCE-desktop. There is no code provided for nemo.

I note that you upload the white panel already. Thanks
For the icons, I found the Korla set to match your theme very well. It is even better because it include 3 sets for dark or light panels.
As for Nemo, your themes works perfectly as is. So no special treatment needed.

Thank you very much.
P.S Great idea to produce different themes names-versions which works independently. We can use all the versions to compare and chose any.

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 ?

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.

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 !
