Eyyyyyyy :cool:

What window manager is that? (Is that even an xfce environment?)

It is XFCE on Manjaro Linux. I made adjustments to it via:

  • Appearance
  • Window Manager
  • Window Manager Tweaks
Different distros have different themes under Appearance. So Manjaro has some themes that may not be available on other distros running XFCE. I think you can acquire them from a theme site, I just haven't looked into it yet.

I also disabled the Whisker Menu and added a basic Application Launcher for the Start Menu instead. I am using Gkrellm as my system monitor in the upper left, which just so happens to have a default theme that matches this color scheme.

In the terminal, I set the colors to match the themes color via checkbox option.

Most of these changes are turn-key/easy.

My font adjustments were a bit more aggressive, which involve disabling font-aliasing and installing some windows-style fonts like Verdana as the primary system font in applications. (Disabling aliasing though does have drawbacks in websites that use -sans fonts, and makes the text read like hot garbage. I have solutions for this but have not fully worked through them yet.)

My mid 2014 MacBook Pro. Dual core 2.6GHz i5 with 8GB of RAM. Does a decent job with HD editing, but can't handle 4k. Everything else it handles just fine. Will probably hold onto this for another 3 years or so.
