Faenza-Xfce
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is just an addon for Faenza, meaning you'll have to have Faenza installed for this to work.
Feel free to edit the index.theme file if you don't have a dark panel, it currently falls back to Faenza-dark first.
If you happen to stumble upon a xfce-specific icon that's missing feel free to send me a message or write a comment about it.
In the screenshot you can see Faenza-Xfce paired with Faenza-Cupertino and the new Thunar from git ;)

the theme in the screenshots is "Greybird" (default theme of Xubuntu). you can fetch the latest version from my github repo: https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird

about the faenza-folders: i do take your request seriously (even more so now that there are already two) - meaning: it's on my list - but i don't know when i'll get around to that. supporting gtk3 with greybird has kept (and will keep) me busy for a while.

By the way...I read the TODO page of the Faenza-xfce...Do you still plan to recolor faenza-cupertino folder to a greyier blue?
It would be awesome :)

thanks for all the praise - it's nice to know that some people appreciate what we do :)
with respect to the faenza plans: yes, there was/is such a plan, i'm not 100% sure about when i'd have time and get around to doing that as there are 100 other things on my todo-list that are more important at the moment (mostly Greybird-stuff).
if you feel like helping out with any of our stuff feel free to check in at #shimmer on irc.freenode.org anytime ;)

I understand that there are a lot of things to do (and btw Greybird is day by day more beautiful: as a netbook user I really like the compact xfwm) and I will patiently wait for the folders :)
Faenza XFCE already look amazing :) (and I think that with the right folders tone that match greybird they will become just phenomenal).
I really hope to see Greybird and Faenza XFCE not only in Xubuntu (that I do not personally use) but also as XFCE default choices.
Thank you for the invite, sadly I have not the skills to help with the artworks, but if I find any bug or suggestion I will check at #shimmer!
Bye and thanks!

there was a discussion about shipping greybird or albatross in xfce by default, but there were understandable doubts about the murrine-engine dependency. i'll probably try to do either a port of greybird to the xfce-gtk-engine or just a new theme (at least if the xfce-devs are in for it).
the situation with the icon-theme is similar, i think they are already quite challenged with the codebase they have to maintain (and develop) and every extra package feels like a ton of bricks.
so all in all i assume it'll be up to distros/packagers how xfce looks by default.

Did you take a look at the new Titheum's iconset Faience?
I think that the Azur version can match the blue shade of greybird theme much more better than faenza cupertino...
Obviously it's only my opinion, but what do you think about that?
Bye!

after following the same procedure with faenza-xfce you can select the icon theme in xfce4-settings-manager > appearance > icons.
that's it.

since Xubuntu comes with a blue colour scheme:
You have to have Faenza and Faenza-Cupertino already installed.
Unpack this tarball, rename the created folder to "Faenza-Xfce" and copy it to /usr/share/icons being sudo.
Now edit the file "index.theme", in the line "Inherits=" change to "Faenza-Cupertino":
[Icon Theme]
Name=Faenza-Xfce
Inherits=Faenza-Cupertino
Comment=Addon Icon-theme for Faenza
Directories=apps/48,apps/scalable
[apps/48]
Size=48
Context=Apps
Type=fixed
[apps/scalable]
Size=96
Context=Apps
Type=Scalable
MinSize=64
MaxSize=128
Now you have everywhere the blue cloured Faenza icon theme ;-)
Thank you, voted you up.

I am no developer/modificator of that theme nor did I copy it from somewhere. I am simply an user who posted a tipp how to use this "faenza-xfce"-theme (which has got a brown color by default) with "faenza-cupertino" (so you get a blue colour). For posting this tipp my profile was voted down. I don't care personally (I am quite an old guy now), but there is nothing "human" nor "democratic" in it
Cheers, Michael
