I cannot download xfce theme manager

  • 772

On my xubuntu I have this horrible software heading:

Titlebar in Xubuntu

I want to remove it. A post said to download xfce-theme-manager, so I did everything I had to do:

  1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/other-stuff
  2. sudo apt update
  3. sudo apt-get install xfce-theme-manager

When I try to install xfce theme manager I get an error along the lines of xfce-theme-manager doesn't exist (My language is Italian, so I don't know the exact translation)

Detail: I use gtk themes

What can I do to install xfce-theme-manager or at least, not having those software headings anymore?

themes xfce xfwm4

  1. It appears that you want to change the theme of your window manager. For that, you do not have to install any extra software.

    Click on the mouse icon (or the menu icon) usually located at the left end of your panel). In the window that opens, click on Settings in the right pane and then scroll down to window manager in the left pane.

    Menu > Settings > Window Manager

    You'll get a new window titled Window Manager. Click on the Style tab. The "software heading" will change depending on the theme you choose in the left pane. You can make other changes there as well. In the next image, I've chosen Numix.

    Selecting a different theme for the window manager

    And this is what the Greybird theme looks like (and it resembles the image you posted):

  2. Get it here: https://github.com/KeithDHedger/Xfce-Theme-Manager/releases

    Unpack, then cd into the folder and execute following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

    et voila, you have the XFCE Theme manager in your menu
