I'm so sad to say this is looking worse for every release. And by looking, I mean looking. I'm starting to think this is going to be just as unbearingly ugly as the current iterations of GNOME and KDE in a few versions. It might be getting more functional, but I don't know.
Xfce was the option I was so happy to have. It used to be a no frills, minimalistic (but not conceptually minimalistic) interface that simply did the job. Now the interface is getting more complicated and innovative. More complicated designs requires better designers, and they don't seem to be around except for in the Elementary OS community.
I haven't looked into MATE yet, perhaps I'll do that.
- asher 12y agoHave you tried fluxbox? Did XFCE offer something beyond fluxbox?
- unicornporn 12y agoApparently I'm getting down voted. Not sure why. Anyway, I gave MATE a try and I'm really happy. The "TraditionalOk" theme and some really simple customization gave me exactly what I was looking for. Old school Xfce style: https://i.imgur.com/IN8UN1T.png https://i.imgur.com/IN8UN1T.png
- wyclif 12y agoI like that theme a lot.
- Numberwang 12y agoThat date and time format on the top bar is probably the least likely way a Swede would write it down using a pen. Other than that your theme looks good. Please share details.
- unicornporn 12y agoI spent two minutes changing the colors, icons and font sizes of TraditionalOk (the all came with the OS). In that time I couldn't figure out how to edit that date/time format or placement. :) It was just a fast test of Ubuntu MATE in a VM.
- jeltz 12y agoAgreed, the default skin looks ugly in their tour. I prefer the minimalism of the default Xfce 4.10 skin in Debian.
