QuoteSide-note: I'm considering writing up a more thorough, more well-planned and understandable tutorial. Any suggestions would be appreciated!I have a few ideas for this tutorial.I think there should be a part on changing window manager theme. Tutorial would be more complete with that.There is a keyboard shortcut control+h to show and hide hidden files. I think that's easier than view > show hidden files, but that's just me. You should add that as a bonus. I usually use Xarchiver and extract themes directly to the .themes directory, and icons to the .icons directory, but your way does the job too.My advice for you is: If you want to to write a tutorial for an average windows user, and that is the group of people LL is targeting, add more pictures and less text.

Hi ninja,Have you tried using solid color for your panel background?Another option is to make a small image in GIMP and use that as a background.

How does one get the icons in the notification area to correspond to the color of the taskbar?73 DE N4RPSRobHey N4RPS, thanks for liking my first tutorial! I've noticed that if you change your theme to one that is a different color than the original, the icons in the notification tray can look out of place. For example, this is what happens when I change Appearance from MediterraneanWhite to MediterraneanDark:Usually, what I would do is simply log-out and log back in for the theme to take effect, but some themes won't cooperate. I don't know exactly how to fix this problem, sadly. However, when I change my theme to MediterraneanDark, I noticed that if I change to MediterraneanDarkest instead, I get the same color scheme but the notification tray icons blend nicely without a restart (as shown below).For some people who have a theme series installed, this would be a quick and easy fix, but I do understand that there are certain themes that do not come in a series, or the user prefers the original to the others in a series. I'll look further into this problem when I have some spare time. Hope I can solve this for you!
