[n1tr0g3n]

Numix Themes & Icons:  http://numixproject.org/

Pastebin with exact code & instructions I made:  http://pastebin.com/MnXmsg4d


This is exactly how your file should look with the code pasted in which have inside the Pastebin tutorial I linked.





Your desktop should end up looking like this with the theme and Icons installed. Enjoy!

Looks pro - nice job N1tr0  +1

btw - there are some other tricks out there that you can add to gtkrc-2.0 such as:

changing the amount of time it takes for a hidden xfce panel to show up when the mouse is over it.

add below code to /usr/share/themes/yourtheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Code: [Select]

# Autohide Panel
 style "xfce-panel-window-style"
 {
   # Time in miliseconds before the panel will unhide on an enter event
   XfcePanelWindow::popup-delay = 850
 
   # Time in miliseconds before the panel will hide on a leave event
   XfcePanelWindow::popdown-delay = 100
 }
 class "XfcePanelWindow" style "xfce-panel-window-style"

and below is for adding a transparent mouse hover-over / click, just create or copy 2 transparent images called hover.png and hover2.png and put them in /usr/themes/yourtheme/gtk-2.0/

Code: [Select]

style "mypanel"
{
      engine "pixmap"
        {
                image
                {
                        function                = BOX
                        recolorable             = TRUE
                        state                   = PRELIGHT
                        file                    = "hover.png"
                        border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                        stretch                 = TRUE
                }
                image
                {
                        function                = BOX
                        recolorable             = TRUE
                        state                   = ACTIVE
                        file                    = "hover2.png"
                        border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                        stretch                 = TRUE
                }
        }
}
