    Hello Guys, long time since I posted here!
    Well, been trying some other iconset + themes + cursors on my setup, here is a few screenshot of it



    Pop Icon + Bibata cursor + Flat remix blue dark




    Paper Icon + Bibata cursor + Flat remix blue dark

    Bonus:


    Resources:
    Flat Remix GTK Theme: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1013030
    Pop Icons: https://github.com/pop-os/icon-theme
    Paper icon: sudo eopkg it paper-icon-theme (available in repo)
    Bibata cursor: sudo eopkg it bibata-cursors (available in repo)

    How to get Pop Icon theme:

    git clone https://github.com/pop-os/icon-theme pop-icon-theme
cd pop-icon-theme
meson build
sudo ninja -C "build" install

    All tested and working correct in Solus Gnome, not yet tested in Budgie but should work, if another distro please refer to your official docs as stuffs like getting Pop Icon theme to work may change or work not as expect at first try.

    brent the top panel is my normal.

    I suspected the problem might be changing from bottom panel to top panel or vice-versa when I change from one machine to another. That can get maddening -- always moving the mouse pointer to something that isn't there half the time.

    So, after I wrote that reply, I changed my workstation to match the way my laptop is set up. Since I'm using one of those two about 99% of the time, I've gotten much more accustomed to where the menu, and other panel features are, and now I instinctively move the mouse pointer to the right place to begin with.

    That's way less stressful than having just one machine set up that way, as I did I did earlier. It seems I can get used to a top panel a lot easier than I would have expected.

        WetGeek It seems I can get used to a top panel a lot easier than I would have expected.

        you can get used to almost anything (but Gnome😉). in endeavour I've left budgie on the bottom. solus at the top--it's just like you say: muscle memory/feels right--all birds of a feather....but also like you said, once instinct takes over it's harder to go from version to version. there's benefit to some uniformity I think.

          diagnostics0 I really like that.

          Of course, I'm one of those users who only sees the desktop just long enough after boot to open the first app; But this sure is pretty.

            wingman-4 yes! Love black Panel and header-bars too!
            Plata-BlueGray? Is that a fork?
            Also is that Task List on the left side? Never saw such config with icons in the center + Task List on the left.
            Bcs there is not a lot of space for the Task List

                Just recently learned to customize gtk.css and came up with this based on the Mint-Yz:

                I like my scrollbars always visible.
                The notification bell animates/flashes for any unreads.
                That's a home made image viewer in the midle with preloading,
                support for rar archives and seamless file move-copy operations.

                The terminal is already pretty good, but might still be facing customizations next.

                  Greetings from Germany.
                  Please excuse me but english is not my first language.
                  I'm using Solus OS Budgie for round about four years and i had to say thank you to the team, all the people behind and to the community for there hard work to make this happened.
                  I like Budgie a lot but the only annoying thing was that tiny, little clock in the budgie-panel which has no option for font and size.
                  I found a solution that works for me. If anybody find it useful feel free to tinker with it.
                  Go to Budgie-Desktop-Settings -> Panel -> Clock -> custom format -> copy one of the codes from above and paste it in. You will see the effect.
                  <span font_desc="Droid Sans 12"> %a %d %b </span> <span font_desc="Droid Sans 13" weight="Bold" >%H:%M</span>
                  If you prefer AM/PM
                  <span font_desc="Droid Sans 12"> %a %b %d </span> <span font_desc="Droid Sans 13" weight="Bold" >%I:%M %p</span>
                  If you like my bash-prompt go to home/your username -> show hidden files -> find .bashrc -> open with gedit -> copy and paste the code above under the line that was in the .bashrc file. Don't forget to make a copy before.
                  PS1='\n\[\e[0;30m\]┌─[\[\e[1;34m\u\e[0;30m\]]──[\e[0;31m\w\e[0;30m]──[\[\e[1;34m\]${HOSTNAME%%.*}\[\e[0;30m\]]\[\e[0;30m\]: \$\[\e[1;30m\]\n\[\e[0;30m\]└────╼ \[\e[0;30m\]>> \[\e[00;00m\] '

                  All in all a very nice "green". I like the new style. Many thx to the team.

                    c2p What's the theme used here? I'm trying to find some nice one with green accents
