Show your Solus

Soutaisei I would try such a true black theme on the OLED screen 😃
The top panel's colors are nice and minimal 👍️
Not sure if I like white windows borders tho, it reminds me about those high-contrast themes on Windows that I never tried 😃

Idea: maybe make header-bars a bit more colorful? 💡

All valid points and thank you!
You kinda need some sort of window border on such full on black theme, otherwise you would get lost and confused finding where does your window end 🙂

Headerbar (polybar) still needs a lot of work. And certainly planning to work in it to make it better. Initially thought of giving it a slight border color

I've been away from Linux for a while but recently checked in on Solus and see a lot has changed around here : )

Really digging the new built-in budgie theme. So much so that I had to try decking the rest of the theme out to match. Ergh, and I promised myself I wouldn't get caught up in tinkering around with things this time!

If any Buddies of Budgie crew reading this, any chance you'll be updating other theme/folder components to match your new built-in 'green' theme? Or if migrating to EFL, this would all be moot?

h3o the built-in theme will only style Budgie components; items like applets on the panel, Raven, etc. Maintaining a full theme is a lot of work, with many ever-moving targets. We simply don't have the time even if we wanted to. I'm glad you like the new colors, though!

h3o I would love if you would be able to share how you did this theme, I actually really like it as well!

nice work, how did you make your clock font bigger and bolder like that?

c2p

h3o 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.
 %a %d %b %H:%M
If you prefer AM/PM
 %a %b %d %I:%M %p

Soutaisei My idea is something like this:

not use 100% white color at all
maybe a slightly rounded external borders with width 3-10 times bigger, like this:

darker internal window separators, including close/minimize buttons
windows title-bars are filled with different (accent) color

Solarmass windows title-bars are filled with different (accent) color

That should make it easy to tell a dialog window from the main window it's displayed above. That's a problem I have with some dark themes -- I can't easily tell which window I'm working with.

The xfce edition lends itself to proper customization

Indeed it does. That looks almost like a Plasma desktop. And my Xfce VM is even a little smaller than my MATE VM.

Soutaisei How did you get Nitch working? Did you have to manually update Nim?
