THEMEs

Greybird

Greybird GTK theme is a complete GTK+ theme for desktop.

The greybird-patched folder contains a patched version of it. I made some patches to avoid some bugs and adding some extra features. Also GTK4 support is added.

You can find a XFWM4 themes too (Window decoration themes for the XFCE window manager).

Unzip 7z files and copy folder to /usr/share/themes or ~/.themes/

Or using the installation script:

cd greybird-patched && sudo ./install-greybird.sh Greybird-20260728.7z

Papirus

Papirus Icon theme is a complete awesome Icon Theme.

The papirus-patched folder contains a patched version of it. I made some patches to add some extra features I like. I also added the ePapirus version, that was removed from official Papirus icon theme time ago.

Install:

# Download and install latest
cd papirus-patched && sudo ./install-papirus.sh --download

# Install from a local archive
sudo ./install-papirus.sh --local papirus-20260728.tar.xz

You can also install Papirus extra patches for applications like aMule, FBreader, gFTP, Remarkable, etc. — each has its own install.sh inside its subdirectory.

XFWM4 Window Themes

The xfwm4-themes folder contains a some themes for the XFCE Window Manager. They are bases upon the Greybird and XFWM4 main themes.

Install: cd xfwm4-themes && ./install.sh

Bashrc files

These files configure the bash console to add some features like personalized and colorized prompt and some tweaks for java look and GTK+3.

Install: cd bashrc && ./install.sh

Compositors

You can add shadows, transparency, rounded corners and even animation to your windows using some of the X Compositors you can find here. Configuration files and launcher included.

Install: cd compositors && sudo ./install.sh (copies binaries, configs, and compositor.sh to your system).

Then use compositor.sh picom (or compton / fastcompmgr / xfwm4) to switch between compositors.

If you have problems with drop-down shadows in latest Google Chrome versions, please, change this flags ( chrome://flags/ ) to disble the "UI refresh theme" and you get a better integration and look and feel. Google Chrome

Sound theme

All you need to activate sound theme into your XFCE Desktop. You know, play sounds when you do things! ;)

Install: cd sound-theme && sudo ./install.sh
