I would like to get a window theme that is listed on the link below, but is not installed in Xubuntu 13.04. I have It installed in
Debian Wheezy Xfce 4.x and see it listed as being in Arch linux Xfce 4.x.

The theme is this one:

/usr/share/themes/Xfce-b5/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

Listed for Xubuntu 13.04 here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/gtk3-engines-xfce/filelist

I can't find it on these links, but then again I don't know what I am doing:

http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes

Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks.

Its part of the xfwm4-themes package which isn't installed by default. Looks like its a window-manager theme only.

Thanks, for looking Toz.

I wonder why it is listed in the list, but not installed:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/am...-xfce/filelist (http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/gtk3-engines-xfce/filelist)

Does anyone have any idea where I could get it?

Thanks.

If you're referring to the b5 window manager theme, then install the xfwm4-themes package. From the command line:

sudo apt-get install xfwm4-themes

If you are referring to Appearance theme (/usr/share/themes/Xfce-b5/gtk-3.0/gtk.css), then it can be installed via:

sudo apt-get install gtk3-engines-xfce

There is also a gtk2 version of the appearance theme in the gtk2 engine:

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-xfce

That did it. Yay! We we again!

If you have any patience left with me Toz, could you provide me with a link, to read on installing, all the various Xfce themes with apt-get install:

Window decorations

GTK+ interfaces

Cursors

Notifications

Icons

It was really bugging me that Debian Wheezy Xfce could be configured to how I wanted it, but not Xubuntu 13.04.

Thanks again.

;p

The Xfce wiki (http://wiki.xfce.org/) might be a good place to start - especially the HowTo (http://wiki.xfce.org/howto) and Tips & Tricks (http://wiki.xfce.org/tips) sections.

There is also the Xfce documentation (http://docs.xfce.org/).

Basic information about themes, cursors, icons are talked about here (http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes).

There is also this forum, so don't be afraid to ask away. There is alot of Xfce knowledge here.
