XFCE/XFWM4 Themes by bisoft 16 comments
Kokodi is an old theme that I used from LinuxMint-13 Maya and earlier distros - it was one of the defaults there. I modified it for my WinXP-look like modules/also colleced in bisoft-greybird theme. But Kokodi is used only for Windows like versions. This is from the series of MacOS like themes they are an other story -> combination of buttons from Unity in Ubuntu + some old GTK 3.2 'London-Smoke' theme with a new 'themerc' software which I applied to gather the whole stuff. So MacOS like themes have nothing to do with Kokodi ones :( - Nov 11 2013

If we are speaking about the transparency, alpha channel is to be applied via "Settings" in Windows Manager section -> tweaks -> Compositor, as shown in the picture below. As you can see in my case transparency is enabled and working perfectly. This is LinuxMint-14 with GTK-3.5 ... actually nothing wrong here. Further more the system with Linux-xfce 4.10 ( I have checked on Xubuntu and Voyager) start the problem, that's why I think it's something to do with the new Kernels, and Xfwm4_ modules start to crash might be because of the newer GTK. But this is my suggestion.
Never tried on Mageia 3 (4.10), but suppose it would be like Xubuntu-13.04 / 13.10 issue.
Take a look on my desktop - the settings and the transparency of the frames :)

Thank you for the interest to my theme.
Actually if you are running the last and the one before XFCE platforms : xubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 , as well as mint 15 xfce distros, there are some misunderstandings with my xfwm4_ :whatever frame factors.
I saw some destroying bugs of the frames after GTK 3.4 base as it was specially made on this library, and maybe I should change my themerc file with some 'modern' command lines in it :).
If you have a look in my xfwm4 folders, all images with (.xpm) extension are transparent, if opened with GIMP or anything else which deals with the graphics: there is alfa channel in them, so transparency is applied.
The problem must come from newer kernels in xfce.
I know its annoying, that's why I still keep my LinuxMint-14 Xfce version on my main computer that I work with which works best with this theme.
I thought that in 13.10 this should be fixed by the new GTK, but still the problem persists.
I will make a research soon and will answer you in more. OK?

I'm glad you'd like it ... Skype is a special talk. 64-bit ver, for instance does not accept any of our frame scripts, unless specially approached :(

for your good words. Actually I don't think that my themes (specially this one) is too dark, neither I have try it in combination with other than my themes.
The problem maybe because of the combination with other then the original themes. If you have tried a lot of them, usually Linux mix them and mess up things together.
This happens, only because our themes (customized ones) are not covering all settings by default out of the original thems.
My recommendation is to first go back to 'Mint X' theme (if you use LinuxMint XFCE edition of course) and them switch to any other, including my themes. The theme 'BiSOFT-Xfce Graybird v.15' or any other my theme from that edition is (are) specially made a bit greyish in order to best fit to all browsers and I tried NOT to use white color (#ffffff / neither black:#000000, if possible) in order to meet the requirement of almost all apps.
Sliders, buttons, frames are a bit likely MAC OS but still 'my edition' because I like them in such way, if you do not it's up to you :)
Anyway, thank you for your opinion, I will try add some more stuff to aprove the theme.
Good Luck !!! - Sep 25 2013

If I can help you ... may give you more staff for xfce, any platform, especially for LinuxMint XFCE-s.

Cinnamon Themes by bisoft 4 comments
1. COMMON WAY :
Switch your filebrowser (Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, Dolphin, which is your default one) 'View' -> 'show hidden files' = ON to see the hidden directories; on any Linux you may put my theme into directory :
/home/{username}/.themes
... where {username} is your name of user during registration. If there is no such directory, you must make it -> run Terminal and type :
mkdir ~/.theme
don't need to be sudo, but it should be hidden (with {.} before 'themes'); then expand (just double click on my file) the contents of the archive into :
/home/{username}/.themes
and you are done; now you may change to my theme in the system settings.
2. ADVANCED WAY :
First become SuperUser -> type in the Terminal :
sudo su -
... type your password ...
Do the same things - expand my stuff, but into directory :
/usr/share/themes
... it should be already opened;
The difference is that now, the theme becomes intergrated into your Linux and is available for any user on your pc, which I definately prefer.
Good Luck !!! - Apr 03 2013

I use as root the system dir :
/usr/share/themes/BiSOFT-MacOS/metacity-1/*.*
actually the frame buttons are not mine;I use an old theme, slightly modify them to fit into my greyish frame with a little hole arround and so on.
As every linux user you are free to use my scripts where necessary ...
Good luck !!! - Jan 22 2013

....
#panel {

background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba(8,8,8,0.85);
background-gradient-end: rgba(8,8,8,0.35);
box-shadow: inset 0 -2px 2px 0 rgba(8,8,8,0.15);
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.25);

border-right: 0px;
border-top: 0px;
border-bottom: 1px;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
height: 26px;
}
in this section the last parameter in the background-gradient-start (end) 0.85 -> 0.35 determines the transperancy. Main color #fff - white here
The same you may do in the cinnamon.css in the same section.
I'll be glad if could help ?

Works perfectly .. though Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is still in beta2 - but it's very closed to the deadline ...
How to install, long ago I've used to add a readme.txt in my packs, but now I thought everyone knows HowTo - OK ...
You must extract the data from the BiSOFT-G3.tar.gz file anywhere in your system OR specially to
./home/'yourname'/.themes - don't forget the 'dot' before .themes - it's a 'hidden' dir, you may also extract or move later the BiSOFT-G3 directory to -> /usr/share/themes/ directory for optimal use from the system - but this you should do on admin's rights with 'gksudo nautilus' command from the terminal, for instance ...
Good Luck, friend ... - Apr 03 2012

И после в Advanced Settings -> Themes, както е показано на 1-вата картинка си избираш моята тема, тук в този архив няма да има курсор като този (KDE), заради него ми се 'дънеше' темата в началото .., но ако трябва ще ти го изпратя и него ... Успех :)

that metacity-1 frame theme is working perfectly with this IconPack-G3, they are linked inside the code !? Though it's inspired by Mac-OS idea, we all want to make our desktops look brighter and colourfull, aren't we ???
If you prefer win7-like, this link bellow also works with my IconPack-G3, I have made it already :

I have made this icon-pack - universal, if you extract it either to the your home dir or as admin into the system folder : /usr/share/icons/ ... sure you'll see it in the menu for icon choosing from your distro. I've tried on Lisa : it's working; should work on ubuntu 11.10 as well ! Good luck !!! - Jan 31 2012

Thus, this author is FREE to customise his system the way he likes best !? I mix the best icons, that can find in the web, and create awesome mixtures of 'Apple' start-button with win-icons and self-made ones : the result is everybody whom I make a Linux installation is happy :)
There are a lot of great pictures in this world, and Linux is the right way to used them like icons for free ...
That's why we all LOVE LINUX :) - Jan 27 2012

As you can see only a few windows-like icons are used in my theme : 'My Computer', some icons of devices and some of the panel icons like 'network' and 'volume', and even them I've modified in orientation, colour and size quite a lot with the help of GIMP. 'Folders' and 'system' icons - as you can see are mirrored, shadowed and with quite a bit orange coloured, rather than the yellowish right orientated Microsoft icons ... Actually, those I've taken ready-made ?! ... All other icons > 90% are collected from different GPL sources, the same that I work under.
My idea was not to copy Microsoft or share rights with ... no , not at all ... but to make those guys, that are switching from Windows to feel LINUX more comfortable in a Windows-like environment :) - Jan 26 2012
