in addition the theme frame should be naturally grey about : #888888 and starting from this point the alpha cannel is to be used to white ...
Kokodi is an old theme that I used from LinuxMint-13 Maya and earlier distros - it was one of the defaults there. I modified it for my WinXP-look like modules/also colleced in bisoft-greybird theme. But Kokodi is used only for Windows like versions. This is from the series of MacOS like themes they are an other story -> combination of buttons from Unity in Ubuntu + some old GTK 3.2 'London-Smoke' theme with a new 'themerc' software which I applied to gather the whole stuff. So MacOS like themes have nothing to do with Kokodi ones :( |

Hi again,
If we are speaking about the transparency, alpha channel is to be applied via "Settings" in Windows Manager section -> tweaks -> Compositor, as shown in the picture below. As you can see in my case transparency is enabled and working perfectly. This is LinuxMint-14 with GTK-3.5 ... actually nothing wrong here. Further more the system with Linux-xfce 4.10 ( I have checked on Xubuntu and Voyager) start the problem, that's why I think it's something to do with the new Kernels, and Xfwm4_ modules start to crash might be because of the newer GTK. But this is my suggestion.
Never tried on Mageia 3 (4.10), but suppose it would be like Xubuntu-13.04 / 13.10 issue.
Take a look on my desktop - the settings and the transparency of the frames :)

Good luck

Hi mithion,
Thank you for the interest to my theme.
Actually if you are running the last and the one before XFCE platforms : xubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 , as well as mint 15 xfce distros, there are some misunderstandings with my xfwm4_ :whatever frame factors.
I saw some destroying bugs of the frames after GTK 3.4 base as it was specially made on this library, and maybe I should change my themerc file with some 'modern' command lines in it :).
If you have a look in my xfwm4 folders, all images with (.xpm) extension are transparent, if opened with GIMP or anything else which deals with the graphics: there is alfa channel in them, so transparency is applied.
The problem must come from newer kernels in xfce.
I know its annoying, that's why I still keep my LinuxMint-14 Xfce version on my main computer that I work with which works best with this theme.
I thought that in 13.10 this should be fixed by the new GTK, but still the problem persists.
I will make a research soon and will answer you in more. OK?

OK then :)
I'm glad you'd like it ... Skype is a special talk. 64-bit ver, for instance does not accept any of our frame scripts, unless specially approached :(
You may take a look also on my other themes for Gnome dark one :

green one :

or transparent Win7 like :

You are Welcome for any suggestions or upgrades ... |

Thank You gspezzano,
for your good words. Actually I don't think that my themes (specially this one) is too dark, neither I have try it in combination with other than my themes.
The problem maybe because of the combination with other then the original themes. If you have tried a lot of them, usually Linux mix them and mess up things together.
This happens, only because our themes (customized ones) are not covering all settings by default out of the original thems.
My recommendation is to first go back to 'Mint X' theme (if you use LinuxMint XFCE edition of course) and them switch to any other, including my themes. The theme 'BiSOFT-Xfce Graybird v.15' or any other my theme from that edition is (are) specially made a bit greyish in order to best fit to all browsers and I tried NOT to use white color (#ffffff / neither black:#000000, if possible) in order to meet the requirement of almost all apps.
Sliders, buttons, frames are a bit likely MAC OS but still 'my edition' because I like them in such way, if you do not it's up to you :)
Anyway, thank you for your opinion, I will try add some more stuff to aprove the theme.
Good Luck !!! |

Thank you.
I am happy you like it. Recently I often install to my customers pcs only xfce with this theme and they are really happy :)
If I can help you ... may give you more staff for xfce, any platform, especially for LinuxMint XFCE-s.
Good luck ! |

OK I will try to explain you:
1. COMMON WAY :
Switch your filebrowser (Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, Dolphin, which is your default one) 'View' -> 'show hidden files' = ON to see the hidden directories; on any Linux you may put my theme into directory :
/home/{username}/.themes
... where {username} is your name of user during registration. If there is no such directory, you must make it -> run Terminal and type :
mkdir ~/.theme
don't need to be sudo, but it should be hidden (with {.} before 'themes'); then expand (just double click on my file) the contents of the archive into :
/home/{username}/.themes
and you are done; now you may change to my theme in the system settings.
2. ADVANCED WAY :
First become SuperUser -> type in the Terminal :
sudo su -
... type your password ...
Do the same things - expand my stuff, but into directory :
/usr/share/themes
... it should be already opened;
The difference is that now, the theme becomes intergrated into your Linux and is available for any user on your pc, which I definately prefer.
Good Luck !!! |

Yes you're right : this is a fault of GTK-3 + for Maya; it is because I am already on Mint-14 - where the theme works OK; I will check the code and will fix it for both latest Mints.
Thank U for the feedback !!! |
