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!

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

    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.

      Staudey 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.

      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.
      <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>

      hype isn't the UI is too small on that I assume 4K display?

        No it's the picture that make everything looks so small.
