mmolch-xfce

An elegant light theme for xfce, based on Yaru Blue Light, contains xfwm4, xfce-notify4, cursor, gtk2+3 themes and an icon theme that contains a lot of Yaru icons and some custom ones, but ultimately depends on breeze (so make sure that the breeze icon theme is installed, e.g. package breeze-icon-theme in Ubuntu). This theme is optimized for no compositing, so I recommend to disable it in Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor for the best experience.

Prerequisites

• xfce 4.14
• Breeze icon theme is installed (package breeze-icon-theme in Ubuntu)

Install

To install the theme, run the script install.sh either as user or with elevated privileges depending on whether you want to install the theme into your home directory or into /usr.

Uninstall

To uninstall the theme, run the script uninstall.sh either as user or with elevated privileges depending on whether you want to remove the theme from your home directory or from /usr.
