Minor improvements suggestions (tested on ubuntu 19 10

Hi,
first of all you have a very impressive amount of themes. Your code seems to be a wondefully written scss. It looks fantastic. This theme is a very good one. Feels very nostalgic and clean.
On 19.10 mate i could find a few minor things i found :

toolbar/headerbar bottom border: is too big-/wider than it should. Using bg 90% and then dark color is a very unclean way to implement it. Maybe did this error myself before )=.
You could use an asset or better:
border-bottom-color: $borders_color;
box-shadow-inset: # The one you use in # bottom.
I am aware this will add a light 1 px border on top and on the sides too but this might be a feature considering p.ex eye of mate.

Panel: the indicator is to light set the bg to transparent.

caja-desktp: Hope you see it yourself.
Where is the original scss code then i could suggest you the changes myself.

The handle pngs do looks blurred when used on with nvdidia cards. dont know why.

I do really enjoy using this theme. Almost stops me from writhing themes as good as its written. You did a very good work.

very kind regards

hello, thank you for the feedback. Glad you're liking our themes!

  • toolbar/headerbar bottom border: is too big-/wider than it should.

haven't noticed. I'll patch it once I find some time

  • Panel: the indicator is to light set the bg to transparent.

having some problems lately with xfce panel. hopefully can correct soon

  • caja-desktp: Hope you see it yourself.

  • The handle pngs do looks blurred when used on with nvdidia cards. dont know why.

I added gtkscale support (double resolution for hidpi screens), maybe it's related?

SCSS is maintained separately: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Azurra_framework

Which version of xfce panel do you use? Thx for the link to the scss Folder. If i have time then i can use github to submit merge requests you can look at then and decide if they work for you or not.

@blue-devil-93 I normally test on the latest xfce release. That would be 4.14 I think?

never tested on ubuntu studio, generally on linux mint mate or ubuntu mate. The last check I did was on 19.10

it needs the ruby-sass package, but you can install it with sudo apt install sass.

I'd recommend that you use the built-in script to compile as it also does some other things (I documented a bit how it works in the wiki)

A panel only scss file using transparency and nearly all posssible theme hacks

can you post a screenshot of the impact of the suggestions?

themepreview

A screenshot of what this scss does. There is of course the possibility to use a png asset for panel, the way i use it. And the panel base color can be desaturated.

looks pretty clean. I don't remember why I didn't use an image (there is one in the cinnamon folder) but remember some problems with the tray buttons.

also, isn't the calendar portion supposed to be transparent as well?

panel_new

Installed ruby-sass, now the azurra script works fine .

I'll try to make some time this weekend to have a look at your patch. I must say it looks very good!

I'll try and implement it this afternoon. Vista style would be cool, please attach a screenshot as well. Can you do the changes on the Vista GTK theme? It has some differences with Aero I believe

I could try to load the image as an border. However setting the panel bg image is quickly done in mate and doesn`t break vertical panels. The bottom variant is default and the top if you set manually an bg image.

f720f16 adds proper support for MATE panel.

still working on desktop icon labels issue
