_xfce4themes-nexthdpi

variation of next from xfce4themes - hiDPI version

version 1.0

Features

• Window decoration buttons for active, inactive, prelight (hover) and pressed (clicking).
• GTK theme color pickup --- it will use the colors specified inxfce4-appearance-settings; not pink if you don't like.

Requirements

1. This theme was designed for Xfce Desktop Environment on linux. Possibly other combinations can make use of it.
2. It has been modified with a HiDPI monitor in mind and will look terrible on displays set up otherwise.

Installation

Put the directory into your user or system theme directory. You will be able to select this theme in the Window manager settings dialogue (xfwm4-settings).

Credits

• the next xfwm theme is from the xfwm4-themes collection which is available on various repos. Upstream was Distrotech/xfwm4-themes; it is a mirror of a repo that no longer exists, though it is archived. Some discussion of this.
  • I forked the full collection to CouldBeThis/xfwm4-themes. You can find the parent at xfwm4-themes/themes/next at master
