… nitpick all you want …
Sorry for nitpicking.
No problem, Noclue, but I won’t spend anymore time with this customization 🙁
I found no way to change the clock color- for some reason it’s stuck in the same colors as non active windows…
The window decoration situation that you pointed out is not normal- Chromium has it’s owm window decoration theme. Non active windows decoration is the same as active windows, but only with black background.
Thinking that the blue of the active window is rough in the eyes, I changed the active window title color to be black, only white letters (non active windows have grey letters). So the window titles match more closely the names in the window list on the bar.
Also I found a way to present only the icons of the running applications on the bar (windows 7 – 10 like), but I don’t like that, I like reading the titles, but, if someone wants to try the color changes and the window list changes, drop me a line and I’ll put that here…
I did what I wanted to do- I have JWM with the interface I like, and that looks (to me) very modern. Coupled with skippy, and if you want to, compton (and dunst, for notifications), users have, almost out of the box a feature rich desktop that feels almost MX’s XFCE and runs in little more than 100 Mb of Idle RAM (way less than half of MX idle RAM).
I could even change JWM window decoration to look like MX’s default- I came close to that, but I can’t make the close button change color when the window is active (I can only change all the title and window decoration colors at the same time, and I don’t like red text 🙁 ).
If someone looks at the file and finds a way to make the clock letters white, it would be nice… I have only one more “to do”- make the “PrintScreen” key fire up the app that saves screen grabs… It’s probably easy, but I’m too tired right now to finish that…
Now my heart is torn between Fluxbox and the much more good looking and easy to customize JWM…
P.S.- If someone tries this JWM costumization, please leave your input here, suggestions or advices how to get more stuff done in JWM.
