Budgie pannels and docks configuration

Marxi

algent THANK YOU SO MUCH! Worked like a charm! Also, for some reason choosing the colour black doesn't work, so I'm settling on Gray_100.

Staudey I see. That's a bummer, 'cause it's an amazing theme.

Damn that looks awesome

Marxi Oh. My. This is gorgeous. I am doing this right now!

Marxi When you edited the _config.scss file, did you have to reboot or log out/log in for changes to take effect? I've tried black and slate_100 but it doesn't seem to change the colors at all.
Maybe I've got the file in the wrong place too. It's currently in the Brightwork folder ~/Downloads/Themes/Brightwork-Theme-master. I would assume you can make changes to the config file after installing the theme, right?

Marxi

Brucehankins I did reboot. By problems with the black colour, they happen when I try to run ninja render when I choose black on the config.scss file. That's when the error happen.

Bhibb

By the way I followed algent 's guide and this worked for me flawlessly with the defaults!

Brucehankins

Bhibb Also followed his guide, theme is installed and working I just can't seem to figure out the colors.

Bhibb

Brucehankins I think you need to edit this file _config.scss in the Brightwork-Theme directory before you run

meson build
cd build
sudo ninja render install

My guess is that you need to build and render/install it over again.
That's what I saw from the original project they linked here: https://github.com/NikkNakk/Brightwork-Theme

Brucehankins Just confirmed from the Github URL:

All user preferences are currently handled in the _config.scss file. This is a sass file that is parsed during install.

i did but changing default colors still fails

I am going to give this a try: my prayer of rounded corners has been answered🙂. I read NikkNakks great tips but he has no uninstall info.
@algent---if I find I don't want the brightworks anymore, do you have an uninstall script to go with your great install script?
thanks

algent

brent Yes I have mentioned it in the instructions:

To uninstall, change to another theme and then:
sudo ninja uninstall (if you still are in build folder.)
or sudo rm -r /usr/share/themes/Brightwork* it uninstalling doesn't work fine.

Brucehankins

brent if you want rounded corners check out Orchis theme too, or Orchis Dark if you're a dark theme kind of person. You can get the tarball from gnome-look and then move the extracted files to the /themes folder

brent

algent thought I read them good, lo siento. thanks for the fast reply.

brent

Brucehankins I've seen the Orchis suite as well--really nice like Brighteon. Round corners harken me back to a OSX workflow and past sentiment in a different time---would like to see if it's awesome on Budgie or just belongs in the nostalgia bank--but BOTH designers make the Mac design look dull by greatly improving it (thank you FOSS).

There is a way you can hack transparency settings in Budgie Panels using a css file. My only experience with using this is setting a persistant, non-dynamic transparency.

However the transparency levels are more configurable than using the Dynamic/Transparent settings in Budgie Desktop Settings.

First turn on hidden files.
Then navigate to /home/user/.config/gtk-3.0

There may be a file called gtk.css in this location. If there isn't, create it.

Inside the editor write the following:

.budgie-panel {
    background-image: none;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.60);
}

rgba(0,0,0,0.60) 0.60 = the transparency.
1.0 is fully opaque, 0.00 is fully transparent
I assume it's possible but have not tried to manipulate the RGB aspect

Save the file to: /home/user/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

NOTE: The Budgie Panel will not show any transparency changes until after you logout and login again. Yes, this is a pain. However you have a great deal more control over exact color, hue, and transparency of your panels. This will remove all dynamic functions however.

I am not aware of any other usages that can be done with this file or other css code. This is the only way I know to tweak transparency in this way.

Hope it helps some of you.. it's much less complicated than installing the theme I saw you guys with! 😃
