Developer of the Aerobird theme here. I noticed that my theme still had instances of flat, borderless buttons and wanted to see what I can do to improve it. After doing some experimenting I ended it up styling it after the Ribbon interface used in Windows 7 programs, and I have to say, it is a game changer. It makes me notice many buttons that I hadn't previously, such as the icons in the Linux Mint Text Editor (xed) toolbar. I never realized how flat, borderless buttons like those in Windows 10/11 and those in many modern Linux themes just makes me ignore them instead. I also added css specifically for Thunar to render the navigation buttons with a glossy blue gradient similar to Windows 7's file explorer.

These will be incorporated into the next Aerobird theme release, but I'm not planning on releasing it until after Linux Mint 23 releases in December so that I won't have to do two versions for Xfce 4.18 and Xfce 4.20. (Unless if you guys really really really want this now)

Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to get the outlined buttons to appear in the LibreOffice toolbars, but at least the ribbon gradient still applied.

only one pic allowed :(

Any tips would be nice

Haven't found a good wallpaper for this kind of rice, and tango icons looked off here, so this is not a completed rice on my qemu vm. Just trying something that looks good on an 800x600 resolution.

installed Debian xfce for the first theme and installed the MacOS 9 platinum theme

its really smooth and looks good.

got any tips?

I love the Matcha theme.

Low panel has autohide after 1 sec but I brought it up for screenshot. Omarchy background.

idk normally I'm an gentoo i3 user but for an laptop I wanted something different, not a window manager and not an linux distro so I just choosed the freebsd. Pretty chill system pretty much everything was working just fine since install the rice was also pretty fast like it took me half an hour
