Install

1. Clone this repo:

    git clone https://github.com/ctklainow/stealth-ux.git ~/stealth-ux/
   

2. Install:

    sudo bash ~/stealth-ux/install.sh
   

Note: Your current ~/.bashrc will backed up as ~/.bashrc.obs_backup

How to mod stealth-ux (Optional):

Skip to Configure Section

Copy these corresponding files from greybird-compact dir: /usr/share/themes/Greybird-compact/xfwm4:

• title-1-active.xpm
• top-left-active.xpm
• top-right-active.xpm

(think of .xpm as ASCII masks, layered on top of .png files with the same name)

By using greybird-compact masks, you can change the height of the menu bar in any GTK theme

Next, symlink the appropriate files:

• symlinked title-1-active.xpm to title-2-active.xpm through title-5-active.xpm,
• symlinked top-left-active.xpm to top-left-inactive.xpm, etc
• symlinked top-right-active.xpm to top-right-inactive.xpm, etc

Then install imagemagick:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Then convert UX images for the menu bar:

sudo convert close-active.png -alpha on -resize 70% close-active.png

// running this function replaces current close-active.png with a modified close-active.png that's 70% of the original size, final variable is the new file name (I made it the same as the original)

Run convert on all title bar buttons:

• close-active
• close-inactive
• close-prelight
• close-pressed
• hide-active
• hide-inactive...etc
• maximize-active
• maximize-inactive...etc

Reference for XFCE icons

// Bash command

for name in `find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.xpm"`; do convert "$name" -alpha on -scale 200% $name; done
for name in `find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.png"`; do convert "$name" -alpha on -resize 200% $name; done


1. In the folder /usr/share/themes create a new theme 'mytheme' by copying the theme 'Mint-X'
2. Install imagemagick (sudo apt-get install imagemagick) to get the linux command convert
3. Go to folder /usr/share/themes/mytheme/xfwm4
4. Modify title* and top* files with convert command as suggested by sixsixfive with scale 200%
5. Modify close*, hide* and maximize* files with convert command with scale 150%
6. Modify file /usr/share/themes/mytheme/xfwm4/themerc with following options :
             button_offset=15
             button_spacing=2
             maximized_offset=10
7. Go to Parameters --> Window manager (I am not sure about the english name as I am using french version) and change the theme to 'mytheme'; I also changed the font of the title to 20.
8. Change the color of the close* images to red using Gimp.
