I wanna make my own theme and i am aware that i have to begin by modifying a ready theme but im completely unsure abt that so if anyone can offer guidance id appreciate it, keep in mind though that im new with linux

I was wondering if i could sync the background image of my terminal(Terminator aka x-terminal-emulator) with the current desktop wallpaper and i got to the point of having a bashrc alias that updates the config file's specific line where the background image path resides,but it presents these problems:

• Manual Input:I must input the alias twice to change the terminator background image to the current desktop wallpaper
• Turning off and on:The alias also closes and opens new terminator instances,making the split view layout reset everytime i want to manually change it and the change less seamless.

Idea:

• Theres a specific command to monitor changes in all settings,like window border theme,desktop wallpaper image,desktop wallpaper resize mode,etc etc.Now, could a bg job be searching for any wallpaper changes and act upon that?
• How would it close and open terminator?Is there a way to avoid this?

i don’t mean font scaling or dpi. i mean the area where the cursor detects the window edge for resizing. right now i have to place the mouse very precisely on the border and i want the resize area to be a few pixels bigger.
is this configurable in xfwm4 or only theme-dependent?

Hi! I made a small Night Shift plugin you can add to the XFCE panel as an item.
I noticed there wasn’t a native panel app for this, so I built it quickly and wanted to share it :)
