    On his 3rd point of theming; Xfce should adopt Greybird Dark, which has Flatpak support. It looks nice enough. Also wouldn't hurt to drop the out-of-box, two panel "Mac" look.

  • How to install a theme package downloaded from github with multiple variations.
    2 projects | /r/pop_os | 28 Mar 2021
    I'm new to pop_os, I came over from Linux Mint. I'm quite fond of the Mint-Y theme so I went to the Mint repository and downloaded the theme package but when I move the file into my .themes folder I only get the one default Mint-Y light theme (green). I'm hoping to be able to switch to Mint-Y Dark Blue, but can't figure out how to get tweaks to recognize the different variations. I tried pulling the specific Dark Blue folder out and moving it to .themes but tweaks didn't see it either. I'd like to try the new Greybird Dark theme as well but running into the same issue as it comes packaged with Greybird Light in the same download. Any suggestions on how to make this work?
