Customize panel in Xubuntu
 
Hi!

I'm a happy Xubuntu user but there is one thing I find hard to live with.

The panel. I just can't make it look good.

How do I change the panel to look something like this?
http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=43023

I have installed the theme but it only changed the window borders.

Kind Regards

If your borders are OK...then I'd suggest changing your GTK theme and possibly your icons.

You can change your gtk theme easily by installing gtk-chtheme

GNOME-look.org has some good themes for both icons and GTK 2+.

Ok, thanks.

Now, how do I install it?:rolleyes:

Also find information on edit the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 but I don't have that file.
Can I create it?

you can just create ~/.gtkrc-2.0

Code:

touch ~/.gtkrc-2.0
Xubuntu probably has gtk-chtheme in it's repositories, so:
Code:

apt-get install gtk-chteme
I use both openbox and xfce and the tips from here keep GTK apps looking good in both.

I did'nt find it in the repositories.

Where can I find information about the ~/.gtkrc-2.0?

A theme that change the panel would be nice to. I really like the panel in the Xfce-dusk theme but the rest is to dark.

Is it possible to copy the panel conf from the dusk theme to my ~/.gtkrc-2.0?

Mvh
