docklike-plugin VS mint-themes

As the other person said, Docklike and Plank (in the Software center) are readily available.

Just learned of this, to amend my other comment: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

I think the docklike plugin behaves like you want

I am novice nixos user and I didn't really write any of nix expressions yet. I would like to have Xfce's docklike taskbar plugin (github link), so I would greatly appreciate if somebody could make one nix expression for me so I could build it? I also hope it's not too hard, but I am too sick and tired atm to comperhend documentation regarding it.

Because of default xfce window task manager sometimes picks icons from .desktop files sometimes picks from window icons. I recommend xfce4-docklike-plugin

It is doable with this plugin. Install via ppa way https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

A couple of distros now bundle the very nifty "docklike" task switcher, which is rather snazzy and integrates well: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

The final piece was the docklike-plugin you mentioned. This was the last straw. I attempted to follow the instructions found here: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

I believe the themes are found here https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes

There's no "master list" type resource that I'm aware of but you might find it easier to browse the colors on their github page: https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes/tree/master/src/Mint-Y/variations

MintX

The Mint-X theme is always worth a mention. It looks great and is still shipped with Linux Mint releases. It has a gray sort of metal look. This is what I use. https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes The Mint-X icons are still available too but they're just from Faenza.

In addition to this, I'd recommend grabbing the mint themes package. Not a requirement at all, but I like their defaults.

How did you install the themes? It could be a packaging error if you're using a repo package. You could try downloading the .deb package from the latest release tag on github and extract the files from data.tar.xz/./usr/share/themes/ to ~/.themes

For future reference, the Linux Mint themes and icon pack are freely available on the Mint team's github. It's a lot easier than trying to get them from the actual Mint iso.
