IIRC, the keyboard LED plug-in was dropped when 4.16 was released.
Thanks for the link. I"ll give it a try.

Reason I asked is if someone needs/wants I'd like to have test my Slackbuild for it.

Xfce is coming along really nicely now, if you ignore client-side decorations. Workspaces management is good ; default keyboard shortcuts quite good ; panel management and panel customisation the best, at least among the major DEs ; even Greybird is growing on me. Thunar certainly needs work though ; an option to limit column widths is overdue. Coming from Total Commander and Krusader I just can't take to file managers like Thunar and Dolphin anyway, but they're nice to have for some tasks. Thanks for all the updates.

hmm, you know I've been trying to find an way to fix the missing half of the 'default' theme, maybe I should just fix the toolbar icons in the greybird theme, that might be quicker

What half of the default theme are you referring to? Missing icons? Something else?

As I said, the Greybird theme is growing on me ; I really never took to the default -- Adwaita -- theme.

Another of my preferred options is Linux Mint's theme and icons:

Themes

Mint-Y-Icons

Mint-X-Icons

git clone <repo> and then rsync -av mint-themes/usr/share/themes to ~/.local/share/themes, mint-y-icons/usr/share/icons to ~/.local/share/themes, etc.

When I use the Mint themes, I use the Mint-X-Grey theme with the Mint-Y-Grey icon theme.

I could be wrong but you might also need the faba and moka themes from SBo to complete the iconset. I can't be 100% sure about that, but it wouldn't do any harm to install the various iconsets available at SBo. Some themes seem to fall back on others when an icon is missing.

The one that is called 'default' under window manager and was selected by default during the install. There is no 'default' under Appearance and it defaults to Greybird. and since there is no theme named 'default' you can't change Appearance to match. But you can change WindowManager style to Greybird but then you get the - and + instead of a minimize and maximize button.

Oh I see -- it's xfwm you are talking about. Well, people will laugh at me for this, but about the only xfwm theme I can tolerate is this one:

X-Aero

I like the look, and the best thing about it is that it's easy to grab the handles, something most other xfwm themes seem to have a problem with.

Extract and rsync theme to ~/.local/share/themes

Some other aero themes if you like that one:

Curve7

Vista Aero

The only problem with these is that I think they don't scale for high-res displays. I don't have one yet but plan to get one -- or two. If they don't scale well, then a new hunt begins. Never a dull moment with Linux!

I also like Mint themes, but not to use something from Mint here and keep the same quality opted for Arc-theme https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme/

Unfortunately you need to have Inkscape on your system to compile the arc theme, out of that, nothing to complain about.

umm, I still have to look at windows for work so I'll stay away form anything that looks like it

Inkscape isn't that bad, Slackbuilds for it are pretty easy, i needed it for something else already.

for me Xfce died with the adoption of GTK3. It was a nice desktop environment and I am very grateful to the developers for their work during the years. Time for something else, I guess...

have a suggested alt? I'm uding xfce now because kde has become such a pain.

no. I'll be using 4.12 for as long as it builds. After that I hope that LXQT would've matured enough. Or I'll take a look at Trinity, since I learned to tolerate and even like KDE 3.5
