Dank Themes

So post screenshots of your desktop, preferably if you have made your own themes or significantly tweaked someone else's.

Here's my current desktop (i3):

The firefox theme is a (heavily) modified version of Dylan's (though it's based on a much older version than his current one), the GTK2 theme is a modified version of Equinox Evolution Midnight and the .Xresources is my own. Then there's the i3 config and compton, they still have a few issues though but I do plan on putting them up on github in the future.

Hopefully we can share some advice and cool themes etc. in this thread.

Edit: couldn't upload the images so linked to an imgur album instead

I'd really like to contribute to this thread, I like looking at desktops, like on /r/unixporn, but my themes are generic and boring. I once mixed and mached icons from two packages, but that's about as experimental I've ever been. Besides, since some of the resolutions didn't fit (nothing looked out of place though), whenever I'd update it would give me a warning about the icons.

Theres an official thread for this already

I have updated my firefox theme slightly, plan to release it on github soon but have a few issues that I'd like to iron out first...

ImageMagick may be useful to resize/crop the icons to the same size. Let's have a look anyway.

I assume you're referencing the Desktops thread, I should have made it clearer in the original post but I thought it'd be nice to have a thread for discussion of of making/editing themes instead of posting screenshots of vanilla desktops and discussing anything that comes up. There is some overlap sure but no more overlap than the desktop thread overlaps the battlestation thread.

Looks spiffy mate. Unfortunately I've since wiped the distro with the custom icon pack. I might have it backed up somewhere. Will have a look around. Thanks for the link btw!

I'm currently making a new theme, will be posting the final result soon.

The gtk2 and gtk3 themes are based on the Numix theme. All the files are included in the download link below.

Thanks mate. Yeah it'd be cool to see your icon pack, what icons did you use?

Cool, your current one looks nice, I think it has inspired me to fork numix too.

Making some progress on my firefox theme:

Here's two tabbed windows of firefox in i3, haven't got the tabs to divide up the same as the i3 tabs quite yet.

I'm too used to chromium and its everywhere integration, otherwise I'd like to customise Firefox too.
