CBlue

CBlue

A semi-transparent Cinnamon theme, with wallpaper + Firefox extra, Conky and Plank's theme. Inspired by the CBlack theme (author: cloweling).

If you want a panel that is not transparent, modify the line 231 of the file ~/.themes/CBlue/cinnamon/cinnamon.css. For example: background-color: rgba(53, 57, 69, 0.50); . A value of 0 is equivalent to total transparency and 1 is totally opaque. Restart Cinnamon (Ctrl+Alt+Esc) for immediate modification.

If the theme's font is too small, you can modify Cinnamon's settings:

• System settings>Accessibility>Display>Large text or/and
• System settings>Font selection or/and
• System settings>Font settings>Text scaling factor

Don't hesitate to bring up inconsistencies in the theme or the extras here.

Wallpaper

It is located in the directory ~/.themes/CBlue/cinnamon/Wallpaper.png.

Firefox extra

This is a css file that changes the color of the address bar according to the security of a site:

Just copy the file ~/.themes/CBlue/cinnamon/userChrome.css and paste it into ~/.mozilla/firefox/YOUR_PROFILE/chrome/. If the chrome directory is not present in your profile, you will need to create it.

From Firefox 69 and after:

You must type about:config in the address bar and then modify the value toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets by double-clicking on it to switch it to TRUE.

From Firefox 77 and after:

You need to reinstall the userChrome.css file in the Firefox profile.

Without this modifications, the extra doesn't work.

Conky

• Install the conky or conky-all package, depending on the GNU/Linux distribution. curl must already be present, if it isn't, you should install it as well.

• Download the Brizel font here, then unzip into ~/.local/share/fonts. The fc-cache -f -v command may be needed to update the fonts.

• Copy the file located in ~/.themes/CBlue/cinnamon/TimeFull and paste it into ~/.conky (these are hidden folders: Ctrl+h to show them). You must also allow the file to run with the command chmod 750 ~/.conky/TimeFull. More informations can be found at the beginning of the file.

Prevent your conky from flickering

• Increase the update interval in the TimeFull file.

If this is not enough:

• Check that the dbe module is loaded with the grep LoadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log command If the module is not present,
• Create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-conky.conf and add

 Section "Module
 Load "dbe
 EndSection

• If you have the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, don't create the previous file but look for the Section "Module" line, then add after that line Load "dbe".
• Then restart X (control+alt+backspace).

Plank's theme

• Copy the file ~/.theme/CBlue/cinnamon/dock.theme to ~/.local/share/plank/themes/CBlue/.
• I recommend the following settings:
