Gnome/MATE theme Windows8 for Porteus
Posted: 28 Aug 2014, 20:21
Hello MATE users,
Try gnome-theme-windows8.SlackBuild, you'll need to activate/install gnome-themes-standard-3.8.4-i486-1.txz which can be grabbed using usm package manager. You'll also need to grab git-*.txz and install or activate it after converting the Slackware package to Porteus module using txz2xzm script.
To change/set theme, using menu, select new theme by clicking System->Preferences->Appearance and customize it a bit:
Remove the panel at bottom, move the top panel to bottom, increase its height to 48px, remove Menu Bar (custom menu), add Main Menu (MATE Menu), add/remove other items which you like or don't like. Finally change the background of this panel.
Gnome/MATE programmers, can we automate the above said settings with the help of a tool/script?
I attempted to port http://git.tails.boum.org/gnome-panel-a ... ain/README, but it seems a bloatware to me; better fork Window List applet and remove/comment out code which shows titles.
EDIT: Updated links to new site/locations ;-)
