✨ Preview

🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing, ensure you have the necessary plugins for the scripts to work (specifically xfce4-genmon-plugin for the taskbar stats).

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install xfce4-genmon-plugin xfce4-goodies bc

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/RayhaanFay/xfce-creation-of-adam/
cd xfce-creation-of-adam/

Install Assets

This step installs the fonts, themes, icons, and scripts

# Create necessary directories
mkdir -p ~/.themes ~/.icons ~/.local/share/fonts ~/.scripts

# Copy assets
cp -r themes/* ~/.themes/
cp -r icons/* ~/.icons/
cp -r fonts/* ~/.local/share/fonts/
cp -r scripts/* ~/.scripts/

# Make scripts executable
chmod +x ~/.scripts/*

# Rebuild font cache so the system sees the new fonts
fc-cache -fv

Setup Wallpapers

mkdir -p ~/Pictures/Wallpapers
cp -r wallpaper/* ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/

Configuration

To make your desktop look like the preview, apply the settings manually:

• Theme & Icons:

  • Open Settings Manager > Appearance.
  • Select Ghost-Mantis (Theme) and Nordzy-cyan-dark-mod (icons).

• Window Borders:

  • Open Settings Manager > Window Manager.
  • Select Get-Stickbugged.

• Panel Scripts (CPU/Ram/Net):

  • Right-click your panel > Panel > Add New Items...
  • Search for and add Generic Monitor.
  • Right-click the new item > Properties.
  • In the Command field, enter the path to the script (e.g.)

    /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.scripts/cpu.sh

  • Uncheck "Label" to display only the script output.
  • Repeat for Memory and Network scripts.

• Wallpaper:

  • Open Settings Manager > Desktop.
  • Change the Folder option to: ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/
  • Select The Wallpaper
