XFCE Themes

This is a list of XFCE themes I have made

Most are based on old operating systems, window managers, and desktop environments

Quick note: I'd advise setting up some hotkeys for XFCE before installing these themes as many of them lack window buttons for closing, maximizing, and hiding.

(There are window buttons included, but it's up to you to enable them in the themerc file as in my opinion they look pretty ugly)

For my setup I use Alt-Shift-Q to close (inspired by i3), Alt-M to maximize, and Ctrl-Alt-M to hide. Feel free to change to your fitting.

XFCE also allows you to Alt-Click / Right-Click to drag and resize windows respectively, kind of like a tiling window manager, so use that a lot
